Spark plugs of the wrong size or incorrect heat range can cause
engine damage.
Removal, Inspection and Replacement
For good performance, the spark plug should have the correct gap
and be free of deposits.
1. Raise the engine hood, then disconnect the spark plug cap, and
remove any dirt from around the spark plug area.
2. Remove the spark plug.
3. Inspect the spark plug for excessively worn electrodes, chips or
cracks in the insulator, or excessive deposits. Replace the spark
plug if you have any doubts about its condition.
4. Measure the electrode 0.7 - 0.8 mm
gap with a wire gap (0.028 - 0.031 In.)
gauge. Adjust the gap to
0.028 - 0.031 inch (0.7 -
0.8 mm) by bending the
side electrode with a
proper spark plug tool.
