Failure to route the cables properly could cause the radio to reproduce ignition noise, cross ignition of the spark plugs or short circuit the cables to ground.

  1. To avoid cross threading, start the spark plug into the cylinder head by hand.
  2. Use special tool # 8448 to install and tighten the spark plug. Tighten the spark plugs to 28 N.m (20 ft. Ibs.) torque.
  3. Install spark plug insulators over spark plugs. Ensure the top of the spark plug insulator covers the upper end of the spark plug tube.
  4. Reconnect to cables to coil.
  5. Install the 4 bolts from the upper to lower manifold. See Figure.
  6. Install the 2 bolts to the upper manifold to struts. See Figure and Figure.
  7. Install the PCV hose and the brake booster lose to the upper manifold.
  8. Install the purge hose to throttle body.
  9. Connect the electrical connector to throttle body.
