Spark plug(s)
The spark plug is an important engine component that is easy to
inspect. The color and condition of the spark plug can indicate the
condition of the engine. The ideal color on the insulator around the
center electrode is a medium-to-light tan color for an engine that is
being operated normally. If electrode erosion becomes excessive,
or if carbon and other deposits are excessive, you should replace
the spark plug with the specified plug.
Periodically remove and inspect the spark plug(s) for heat damage
and deposits that will cause them to break down and erode. Do not
attempt to diagnose spark plug color or engine problems yourself.
Instead, take the vehicle to your dealer for service.
