Spark Plugs

Spark plugs must fire properly to assure engine perfor-
mance and emissions control. New plugs should be
installed at the specified mileage. The entire set should be
replaced if there is any malfunction due to a faulty spark
plug. Refer to "Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts" in
this section for the proper type of spark plug for use in
your vehicle.

Engine Air Cleaner Filter

Refer to the Maintenance Schedule in Section 8 for engine
air cleaner filter service intervals.
NOTE: Be sure to follow the "dusty or off-road condi-
tions" maintenance interval if applicable.
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 427
WARNING!
The air induction system (air cleaner, hoses, etc.,) can
provide a measure of protection in the case of engine
backfire. Do not remove the air induction system (air
cleaner, hoses, etc.,) unless such removal is necessary
for repair or maintenance. Make sure that no one is
near the engine compartment before starting the
vehicle with the air induction system (air cleaner,
hoses, etc.,) removed. Failure to do so can result in
serious personal injury.

Catalytic Converter

The catalytic converter requires the use of unleaded fuel
only. Leaded gasoline will destroy the effectiveness of the
catalyst as an emissions control device.
