1. Remove right front wheel to gain access to distributer and coil.  Buffy is overseeing the work. 

 

2. Make sure that vehicle is supported on jack stand

 

3.  Disconnect battery and remove air cleaner. 

 

 

4.  Disconnect the wires being careful to record the cylinder for each wire.
Note the galvanic residue on the coil terminal.  This is not a good connection.  

 

5.  The coil terminal here is also very dirty with galvanic residue

 

6.  Remove distributer cap and rotor.  The rotor doesn't look too bad.  Definitely a bit worn.

8.  Install the new coil.      

 

9.  New distributer cap, rotor, coil, and wires are now in place  

 

10.  There's the old fuel line filter and the hole where the O2 sensor goes.    

 

11.  Remove the fuel line filter.

 

 

12.  Install new filter.  Note new teflon tape on threads.  No leaks here.

 

13.  There's the old injector coming out.

 

14.  There's the new injector ready to go into the throttle body

 

Buffy is happy that engine now purrs like a kitten.   No more rough idle when cold!
