How to Remove the Coil Electronic Connectors on an Altima

Modern gasoline powered internal combustion engines operate by using a spark plug to detonate a fuel/air mixture in the cylinders. However, the 12 volt system that most vehicles use doesnt provide enough energy to create a sufficient charge to power the spark plug. Theore, an ignition coil is required to transform the 12 volt charge into a charge of up to 30,000 volts or more. If the vehicle begins to lose power or run badly, one possible cause is a faulty coil.

Instructions

1

Use a 4mm allen wrench to remove the four bolts securing the engine cover to the engine.

2

Use a socket wrench and 8mm socket to remove the two bolts that secure the coil pack to the engine.

3

Pull the coil off the spark plug by pulling it straight off, using a twisting motion.

4

Disconnect the wire from the coil by pushing in on the green tab on the coil, and then pulling the wire off the coil pack.
