T1: 21 (2.1, 15)

T2: 16 (1.6, 11.7)

C: CAUTION S181001A03

쐌Wear working clothing, including a cap, protec-

tive goggles, and protective shoes during opera-

tion.

쐌Remove contamination including dirt and corro-

sion before removal, installation or disassembly.

쐌Keep the disassembled parts in order and pro-

tect them from dust or dirt.

쐌Before removal, installation or disassembly, be

sure to clarify the failure. Avoid unnecessary

removal, installation, disassembly, and replace-

ment.

쐌Be careful not to burn your hands, because each

part on the vehicle is hot after running.

쐌Be sure to tighten fasteners including bolts and

nuts to the specified torque.

쐌Place shop jacks or safety stands at the speci-

fied points.

쐌Before disconnecting electrical connectors of

sensors or units, be sure to disconnect negative

terminal from battery.

B: INSTALLATION S181003A11

1. RH SIDE S181003A1101

1) Install in the reverse order of removal.

Tightening torque (Spark plug):

21 N·m (2.1 kgf-m, 15 ft-lb)

Tightening torque (Ignition coil):

16 N·m (1.63 kgf-m, 11.8 ft-lb)

CAUTION:

The above torque should be only applied to

new spark plugs without oil on their threads.

In case their threads are lubricated, the torque

should be reduced by approximately 1/3 of the

specified torque in order to avoid over-stress-

ing.

SPARK PLUG Ignition

C: INSPECTION S181003A10

Check electrodes and inner and outer porcelain of

plugs, noting the type of deposits and the degree

of electrode erosion.

S6M0420A

(A) Electrode gap

(B) Carbon accumulation or wear

(D) Damage

(E) Damaged gasket

1) Normal

Brown to grayish-tan deposits and slight electrode

wear indicate correct spark plug heat range.

G6M0087

2) Carbon fouled

Dry fluffy carbon deposits on insulator and elec-

trode are mostly caused by slow speed driving in

city, weak ignition, too rich fuel mixture, dirty air

cleaner, etc.

It is advisable to replace with plugs having hotter

heat range.

G6M0088

3) Oil fouled

Wet black deposits show excessive oil entrance

into combustion chamber through worn rings and

pistons or excessive clearance between valve

guides and stems. If same condition remains after

repair, use a hotter plug.

G6M0089

4) Overheating

White or light gray insulator with black or gray

brown spots and bluish burnt electrodes indicate

engine overheating. Moreover, the appearance

results from incorrect ignition timing, loose spark

plugs, wrong selection of fuel, hotter range plug,

etc. It is advisable to replace with plugs having

colder heat range.

D: ADJUSTMENT S181003A01

Clean spark plugs in a sand blast type cleaner.

Avoid excessive blasting. Clean and remove car-

bon or oxide deposits, but do not wear away por-

celain.

If deposits are too stubborn, replace plugs.

After cleaning spark plugs, recondition firing sur-

face of electrodes with file. Then correct the spark

plug gap using a gap gauge.

Spark plug gap: L

0.7 —0.8 mm (0.028 —0.031 in)

NOTE:

Replace with new spark plug if this area is worn to

“ball”shape.

Assembly S181015

A: REMOVAL S181015A18

Direct ignition type has been adopted. Refer to the

“Spark Plug Removal”for removal procedure.

<Ref. to IG(DOHC TURBO)-4, REMOVAL, Spark

Plug.>

B: INSTALLATION S181015A11

Install in the reverse order of removal.

Tightening torque:

16 N·m (1.63 kgf-m, 11.8 ft-lb)

C: INSPECTION S181015A10

Because ignition coil is a direct ignition type, the

resistance cannot be measured in a single unit. For

inspection procedure of ignition system, refer to

the following. <Ref. to EN(DOHC TURBO)-72,

IGNITION CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostics for

Engine Starting Failure.>
