    Default F3 Spark Plugs Are Not Your Friend!

    I've done a bunch of RT spark plug changes and it's not easy. I was hoping the F3 would be better, but this is how much stuff you have to remove to get to them...

    Yep looks about right...

    My analysis of the service manual and examination of the coils say BRP uses a standard Kettering system, not a CDI nor an ignitor. Your analysis?

    Noticed your posters. My Mustang before I gave it to my niece who just loves it and has a husband who likes working on it.

    In theory it's still a Kettering system, not CDI. Can Am refers to it as a Digital Induction Ignition System since all aspects are controlled by the ECU. An interesting difference between the F3 and the RT, is that the F3 has a capacitor at each ignition coil for noise suppression and the RT does not.

    I'm going to replace the leads / spark plug wires as well while im in there swapping out the plugs.
