SPARK PLUGS

CORRECT WRONG
You should inspect spark plugs periodical-
ly for carbon deposits. When carbon ac-
cumulates on a spark plug, a strong
spark may not be produced. Remove car-
bon deposits with a wire or pin and ad-
just the spark plug gap to 0.7-0.8 mm
(0.028-0.031 in.).

A CAUTION
When disconnecting the spark plug
cables, pull on the boot, not on
the cable itself. Pulling on the
cable can damage it.
When installing the spark plugs,
screw them in with your fingers to
avoid stripping the threads. Tighten
with a torque wrench to 20.0-
30.0 N-m (2.0-3.0 kg-m, 15.0-
22.0 ft-lb). Do not allow con-
taminants to enter the engine
through the spark plug holes when
the plugs are removed.
Never use spark plugs with the
wrong thread size.
