How to Connect a Spark Plug Wire
Hi! This is John on behalf of Expertvillage.com. In this video clip I will be showing you how to reconnect the spark plug wires. When I go to reinstall the spark plug wire back onto the spark plug what I like to do is blow a little compressed air into the spark plug wire and on to the spark plug again. And what this will do is this will just ensure that any debris is removed from the area. To put it back on, you just want to place it on top of it and wiggle it down and you should feel it pop into place. Now as I said before on this engine, there are four different spark plug wires, four different spark plugs as well and when you do this you want to make sure that you are only removing one spark plug wire at a time, so you do not get them mixed up when you put it back together.
