Spark Plug Wires

Tools Required:

• Spark Plug Wire Remover T74P-6666-A

Removal

When removing the wires from the spark plugs, use Spark Plug Wire Remover T74P-6666-A. Grasp and twist the boot back and forth on the plug insulator to free the boot. Use the special tool to pull the boot from the plug. Do not pull on the wire directly, as it may become separated from the connector inside the boot.

 CAUTION: Do not pull on the wire.

When removing wires from the ignition coil, squeeze the locking tabs of the coil wire retainer by hand and remove with a twisting and pulling motion.

Installation

1. Whenever a high tension wire is removed for any reason from a spark plug or ignition coil or a new high tension wire is installed, Silicone Dielectric Compound WA-10, D7AZ-19A331-A (ESE-M1C171-A) or equivalent must be applied to the boot before it is connected. Using a small, clean tool, coat the entire interior surface of boot with Silicone Dielectric Compound WA-10, D7AZ-19A331-A (ESE-M1C171-A) or equivalent.

2. Insert each wire on the proper terminal of the ignition coil. Ensure that the coil boots are fully seated and both locking tabs are engaged. The terminals are identified on the ignition coils. Install wires as shown in the illustration. The 2.3L firing order is 1-3-4-2 for both ignition coil assemblies.

3. Remove the wire retaining brackets from the old high tension wire set and install them on the new set in the same relative position. Install the wires in the brackets on the valve rocker arm cover.

4. Connect wires to the proper spark plugs.
