Hyundai Accent Ignition Coils Replacement
Like most modern cars, each cylinder has its own ignition coil rather than sharing one via a distributor as in the past. All four are identical, so troubleshooting can be as simple as swapping coils and seeing if the issue follows the coil.
Step-by-step instructions
1
- We're starting with the #4 cylinder here, but it doesn't actually matter where you start.
- Slide the gray locking clip away from the coil to unlock the connector.
2
- Grab the rear edge of the cover.
- Yank it upward.
2
Unplug the coils
- With the locking tab released, grasp the connector and pull it straight off.
3
- The engine cover has been removed.
3
- Moving along to cylinder #3, release the connector lock and unplug the coil.
4
- Repeat for cylinder #2.
5
- And, as you probably guessed, we finish up with cylinder #1.
6
Remove the retaining fasteners
- Using a 10 mm socket, remove the bolt securing the #4 coil.
- For reassembly, the tightening torque is 9.8 ~ 11.8 Nm (1.0 ~ 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 ~ 8.7 lb-ft)
- Note that most non-professional torque wrenches are not very accurate below about 15 ft/lbs, so it is recommended to use an in/lb wrench, in which case the torque settings to use would be from 86 to 104 lb-in.
7
- Repeat for cylinder #3.
8
- Moving along to cylinder #2, rinse and repeat.
9
- And we finish up back on cylinder #1.
10
Remove the coils
- Moving back to the #4 cylinder, grasp the coil and pull straight up to remove it.
11
- Likewise for the #3 coil.
12
- We pull the #2 coil.
13
- And for our grand finale, we remove the coil from cylinder #1.
14
- The ignition coils have been removed.
