Hello guys,
hope u al doing gr8

Well I jus wanted to know to which cylinder should each spark cable be connected just in case I mismatched.


and I happened to see that the cable is bit loose to the plugs...
Is this normal?
and also there was a lot of debris/particles like rusted metal or soil in the cylinders over the cables and around the plugs...
but then I fear some of these particles might get in the cylinders when removing the plugs tho' I have removed most of them with air pressure...
so will this affect the engine if ever somethin was to get inside the engine??
plz help

Yea, the 1st thing you should do before removing the HT leads (spark plug leads) is try get all the dirt from around plugs. If you cant get it out with air then a CLEAN tampon will soak up alot of oil and dirt.

Label each HT lead when you remove them or else just do 1 plug at a time, mismatching them will just stop those cyclinders from firing.

No the cables shouldnt be loose, the are ment to clip in securely.

And, YES it will affect your car if dirt gets inside the engine.

Hope this helped you.
