• Q: How to Replace Spark Plug Wires on 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier?

  A: The first step to replace Spark Plug Wires involves twisting each Spark Plug wire boot one-half turn before removal then pulling the boot by hand or using proper tools. When disconnecting wires from the coil housing follow the same procedure of twisting each boot 1/2 turn before removal while using only the boot or a special tool for handling. Start your installation by first connecting the coil to Spark Plug Wires and then attaching wires to each Spark Plug. It is crucial to verify that the boots are properly seated, as any movement can create a false impression of being fully seated; apply force in a horizontal direction to the installed boots for accurate installation. Engine damage may occur through wire core deterioration and misfire events and crossfire situations when spark plugs are not properly installed. The proper wire installation can be checked through boot sideways pressure tests which help verify seating and require boot reinstallation for loose components and maintaining original routing directions to avoid radio ignition noise and crossfiring and ground shorts. When installing Spark Plug Wires or boots on spark plugs always use new dielectric grease inside the boot.
