SPARK PLUG CABLES #3 AND #5
REMOVAL
(1) Remove the resonator.
(2) Grasp the spark plug boot/heat shield as close
as possible to the spark plug. Twist the boot
slightly to break its seal with the plug and pull
straight back. Do not use pliers, pull on the
ignition cable, or pull the spark plug boot at an
angle. This could damage the spark plug insulator,
terminal, or the cable insulation. Wipe spark plug
insulator clean with a dry cloth before installation.
(3) Remove the cable from the retaining bracket.
Make sure that they are also detached from the rear
retaining clip mounted on the rear of the intake
manifold.
INSTALLATION
(1) When installing the spark plug cables, make
sure the coil and spark plug insulator and terminals
are fully seated. A click sound should be heard or
terminal engagement is felt when the terminals
are properly attached.
(2) Install the cable into the retaining bracket.
Make sure that they are also attached to the rear
retaining clip mounted on the rear of the intake
manifold.

SPARK PLUG SERVICE—3.3/3.8L ENGINES
WARNING: The ignition cables should not be
removed while the engine is hot. This could cause
server injury/burns and can cause damage to the
ignition cables.
Use extreme care when removing and installing
the spark plug cables.
The spark plug boot heat shield needs to be
installed correctly on the boot before being installed
on the engine (Fig. 1). If it is not installed correctly
engine misfire would occur.
Do not use pliers to pull the boot/heat shield
assembly from the spark plugs. This will damage the
shield assembly.
