Ignition System - DURA-Spark II: Precautions

  1. The electronic control module and ignition coil are on whenever the ignition switch is in the "ON" or "START" position. The system will generate a spark whenever the ignition switch is turned "OFF".
  2. Since spark may occur if distributor is moved with ignition switch in the "ON" position, keep switch off during underhood operations.
  3. Always replace spark plug wires with wire made of the same material. Silicone/Silicone wire is identified by the letters "SS" on the wire in WHITE lettering. Silicone/EPDM wire is identified by the letters "SE" on the wire in BLACK lettering.
