Hello and thanks for the reply...I'll try to help.

Disconnect the battery ground cable.
Remove the RH side of the cowl vent screen, and cowl top extension.
Disconnect engine control sensor wiring tram the ignition coil. Remove the four ignition coil hold-down screws, and remove the ignition coil to access the spark plugs on cylinders 1, 2, and 3.
Disconnect the electric IMRC actuator electrical connector. Remove the mounting screws, and lay the IMRC actuator aside to access the spark plugs on cylinders 4, 5, and 6.
Disconnect ignition wires from spark plugs.
Loosen spark plugs 1/4 turn. Using compressed air, remove any dirt or foreign material from spark plug areas at valve cover.

Hope this helps,
Erik
