Tune-Up Notes

NOTE: When performing tune-up procedures described in this article, the following notes and precautions must be followed.
  • Always refer to Engine Tune-Up Decal in engine compartment, before tune-up procedures are attempted. In the event manual specifications and decal specifications are different, always use specifications on Engine Tune-Up Decal.
  • Before making a compression check or cranking engine with a remote starter switch, disconnect ignition wire at distributor.
  • Do not remove ignition wires while engine is running. Ignition voltage is extremely high and can cause harmful electrical shock and electronic ignition system damage.
  • When performing tune-up on vehicles equipped with catalytic converters, do not allow or create a condition of engine misfire in more than one cylinder for an extended period of time. Damage to converter may occur due to loading converter with unburned air/fuel mixture.
