Spark Plugs
The ignition system uses a distributor-less ignition system (DIS) which employs a pair of double ended ignition coils and a 'waste spark' system whereby each coil fires two spark plugs simultaneously (1 paired with 4, and 2 with 3), the spark in the cylinder on the exhaust stroke being 'wasted'. The two H.T. coils are mounted on the cam cover, each connecting directly with one spark plug, and via a short H.T. lead with a second plug.
WARNING: The H.T. voltage of the ignition system is in excess of 50 kV and the low tension voltage is in excess of 400 volts. Voltages this high can cause serious injury and may even be fatal. Never touch any ignition components while the engine is running or being cranked.
For access to the spark plugs:
1. Release the three fixings securing the spark plug cover, unscrew the oil filler cap and remove the cover.
2. Pull off the H.T. lead from two of the spark plugs, and release each lead from its routing clips.
3. Release the two screws securing each of the two H.T. coils, pull each coil off its spark plug, and disconnect the low tension connector plug.
4. Remove the spark plugs, taking precautions as necessary to prevent debris from entering the cylinders.
5. Fit the new spark plugs, tightening to 27Nm.
6. Refit the coils, plugging in the low tension harnesses, and tightening the coil fixings to 8 Nm. Fit the H.T. leads and locate in their routing clips.
7. Ensure the ‘O’ ring is fitted around the oil filler neck before refitting the spark plug cover and tightening to 8 Nm.
