REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

NOTE: All engines, except the 2.3L and 2.5L engines, utilize one coil pack containing three separate coils. The 2.3L and 2.5L engines use two coil packs containing two separate coils each.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Unplug the electrical harness connector from the ignition coil pack.
3. On the 3.0L engine, loosen the mounting nut and remove the EGR vacuum regulator from the ignition coil.

4. Label and remove the spark plug wires from the ignition coil terminal towers by squeezing the locking tabs to release the coil boot retainers.
5. Remove the coil pack mounting screws and remove the coil pack.

   To install:

6. Install the coil pack and the retaining screws. On 2.3L, 2.5L and 4.0L engines, tighten the retaining screws to 44–62 inch lbs. (5–7 Nm). On the 3.0L engine, tighten the retaining screws to 12–14 ft. lbs. (16–20 Nm).

   NOTE: Be sure to place some dielectric compound into each spark plug boot prior to installation of the spark plug wire.

7. On the 3.0L engine, install the EGR vacuum regulator to the ignition coil and tighten the mounting nuts to 6–8 ft. lbs. (8–12 Nm).
8. Attach the spark plug wires and electrical harness connector to the coil pack.
9. Connect the negative battery cable.
