Removal procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the decorative engine cover. See Part 1C2, "The mechanical part of the engine is HFV6 3.2L.
Note: If the upper intake manifold has been removed, plug the holes in the lower manifold to keep out dirt and debris.
3. If necessary, remove the upper intake manifold assembly. See Part 1C2, "The mechanical part of the engine is HFV6 3.2L.
4. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to pry out the latch (1) connector in the direction of the arrow.
5. Disconnect the wiring harness connector from the ignition coil (2).
Attention! Before removing, clean the vicinity of the ignition coil so that dirt does not get into the engine.
6. Loosen the screw completely (1), holding the ignition coil (2) to the cover of the gas distribution mechanism.
Note: The ignition coil screws are captive. Do not attempt to remove the screws from the ignition coil.
7. To remove the ignition coil, first rotate it until it disengages and then lift it up.
Attention! Do not try to separate the cap (1) ignition coils from the ignition coil with a sharp object such as a knife. A sharp object can damage the insulator (2) ignition coils.
8. Remove the cap from the ignition coil with your thumb.
Note: Be careful not to remove the spring when removing the cap (3). To make the cap easier to remove, you can separate the edge of the cap from the insulator with a blunt instrument and inject a release agent between the cap and the coil insulator.
9. Remove the spring from the ignition coil insulator.
Installation procedure
1. Install the spring in the notch of the insulator.
2. Lubricate the insulator (1) ignition coils with powdered talc.
3. Put on the ignition coil cap, making sure that it is completely put on the top of the insulator.
4. Lubricate the rubber seal (1) ignition coils with clean engine oil, and the inside of the cap (2) ignition coils - powdered talc.
5. Install the ignition coil by pressing it so that the rubber seal enters the cylinder head cover.
Attention! Before tightening the fixing screw to the specified torque, check that the ignition coil is fully inserted.
6. Screw the fixing screw of the ignition coil.
Tighten
Tighten the ignition coil fixing screw to 9 Nm (80 lb-in).
