IGNITION COIL
Location
Back of the engine right-hand side.
Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect the ignition coil connector.
3. Disconnect four spark plug cables from the ignition
coil.
4. Loosen three bolts and remove ignition coil from the
bracket.
Installation Procedure
1. Tighten the ignition coil by three bolts.
2. Connect four spark plug cables to the ignition coil.
3. Connect a ignition coil connector to the ignition coil.
4. Connect the negative battery cable.
NOTE: Verify any DTCs (diagnosis Trouble Code) are
not stored after replacement.
Verify proper connection of spark plug cables for each
cylinders.
SPARK PLUGS
Location
Installed on the left-hand side of cylinder head.
Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable
2. Remove the spark plug cable.
3. Remove the spark plug.
Inspection
1. Check the insulator for cracks. Replace the spark
plug if cracks are present.
2. Check the electrode condition and replace the spark
plug if necessary.
If the spark plug electrodes and insulators are fouled
with carbon or oil, the engine will not operate efficiently.
There are a number of possible causes:
Fuel mix ture is too rich.

6E–276 ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
Oil in the combustion chamber.
The spark plug gap is not set correctly.
If spark plug fouling is ex cessive, check the fuel and al
system for possible causes of trouble. If fuel and al
system are normal, install spark plugs of a higher heat
range which have the same physical dimensions as the
original equipment spark plugs.
The following symptoms are characteristics of spark
plugs that are running too hot:
Fuel mixture is too lean.
Heat range is incorrect.
If vehicle usage does not conform to normal driving
conditions, a more suitable spark plug may be
substituted.
If fuel and al system are normal, in most cases of this
sort, the problem can be corrected by using a colder
type spark plug with the same physical dimensions as
the original equipment spark plug.
3. Check the gaskets for damage and replace if
necessary.
4. Measure the spark plug gap. The specification is 1.0
to 1.1mm (0.039 to 0.043").
5. Adjust the spark gap by bending the grounded
electrode.Installation
1. Tighten the spark plug to the 25N·m (2.5kgf·m).
2. Push the spark plug cable in until it snaps in.
Installation Procedure
1. Install the spark plug to the cylinder head.
2. Tighten the spark plug with specified tightening
torque.
Tightening Torque
Bolt: 25N·m (2.5kgf·m)
3. Connect the spark plug cable to the spark plug.
4. Connect the negative battery cable.
NOTE: Verify any DTCs (diagnosis Trouble Code) are
not stored after replacement.
Verify proper connection of spark plug cables for each
cylinders.
