Repair Procedures: Installation

CAUTION:
  • Do not accidentally switch the ignition coil #2 and #4 connections.

    Doing so may cause the engine to stall due to incomplete ignition. And, since unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, this can overheat and damage the catalyst.

    A yellow tag (A) is attached to ignition coil #4. Use this tag for reference when connecting the ignition coils.
