  Q: How to Remove an Individual Ignition Coil on Dodge Nitro?

  A:

  A spark plug has its own ignition coil, that goes into a machined section in the head and is kept stable by being mounted to the manifold from above with a bolt and a nut. At the base, there's a rubber seal around the spark plug and there's a spring inside that offers mechanical contact. The boot, spring and the spark plug itself are all housed here and not separately maintained parts. An O-ring is fitted at the end of the coil to seal the coil in the cylinder head. Start by finding out which coil you need to replace, because the throttle body air intake tube or intake box could get in the way. Component release lock by pressing downward and pulling away the electrical connector from the coil. Use compressed air to clean the area at the coil's base before you take out the coil mounting nut from the mounting stud. Pull the coil gently from the opening in the cylinder head, twisting it as you remove it from the car.

  Q: How to Install an Ignition Coil in a 3.7L Engine on Dodge Nitro?

  A:

  Prior to installing the 3.7L's ignition coil, use compressed air to clean the top of the spark plug where the coil will go. Control the condition of the coil O-ring (2) and change it if needed before applying a silicone sealant to the O-ring for easier assembly. Put the ignition coil (1) into the cylinder head opening and push it on top of the spark plug as you guide the coil's base over the stud. Attach the coil mounting stud nut (2) following the torque details. Attach the electrical connector to the coil by snapping it in place and if there is a throttle body air tube, install it at this step.
