• Q: How to replace the ignition coil on 2001 GMC Safari?

  A: The first step to replace an Ignition Coil requires you to remove the engine cover followed by disconnecting all electrical connectors. Start by detaching the Ignition Coil wire from the Distributor before removing the studs which connect the bracket and Ignition Coil to the Intake Manifold. Drill and use a punch tool to remove the two bracket rivets holding the Ignition Coil in place before you can pull out both components from their holding position. Use the 2 screws included in the Ignition Coil replacement kit to install the coil onto its bracket after making sure to follow fastener notice in service precautions. Use the provided studs to mount the Ignition Coil and bracket to the Intake Manifold before tightening them to 11 n.m (97 lb in). After connecting the Ignition Coil wire avoid letting it contact any objects such as a dip stick because continuous contact may create a ground or short circuit in the future. Next connect all electrical connectors and reattach the engine cover.
