Installation - 2.0/2.4L

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge SX, 2005 Dodge SRT-4, and 2005 Dodge Neon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Failure to route the cables properly could cause the radio to reproduce ignition noise, cross ignition of the spark plugs or short circuit the cables to ground.

  1. To avoid cross threading, start the spark plug into the cylinder head by hand.
  2. Tighten spark plugs to 17.6 N.m +/- 2 (13 +/- 2 ft. lbs.) torque.
    WARNING: The tapered seat plugs for this application are torque-critical! It is imperative that 17.6 N.m +/- 2 (13 +/- 2 ft. lbs.) is NOT exceeded!
  3. Install spark plug insulators over spark plugs. Ensure the top of the spark plug insulator covers the upper end of the spark plug tube.
  4. Reconnect to coil.
