Plug Removal

Cable Removal:




1. Always remove spark plug or ignition coil cables by grasping at the cable boot. Turn the cable boot 1/2 turn and pull straight back in a steady motion. Never pull directly on the cable. Internal damage to cable will result.
2. Prior to removing the spark plug, spray compressed air around the spark plug hole and the area around the spark plug. This will help prevent foreign material from entering the combustion chamber.
3. Remove the spark plug using a quality socket with a rubber or foam insert.
4. Inspect the spark plug condition. Refer to Spark Plug Condition in the Diagnostics and Testing.
