WARNING
When disconnecting coil from spark plug, al-
ways disconnect coil from main harness first.

an open coil and/or spark plug in the engine
compartment as spark may cause fuel vapor
to ignite.
IMPORTANT: Never cut the locking ties of coil
connectors. This would allow mixing the wires
between cylinders.

CAUTION: Ensure there is no dirt in coil holes
prior to removing the spark plugs. Otherwise,
dirt would fall into cylinders and will damage
the internal components.

NOTE: Prior to inserting the ignition coil in its lo-
cation, apply some Molykote 111 grease (P/N 413

spark plug hole. After installation, ensure the seal
seats properly with the engine top surface.
– To reinstall engine cover, push it downward until

tle fully depressed to distribute lubricant on ex-
