SPARK PLUGS
You should inspect spark plugs periodically
for carbon deposits. When carbon
accumulates on a spark plug, a strong spark
may not be produced. Remove carbon
deposits with a wire or pin and adjust the
spark plug gap.

When replacing spark plugs, you
should use the brand and type
specified for your vehicle. For the
specified plugs, refer to the

• 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 2.0–3.0 kg-
m (20.0–30.0 N-m, 15.0–22.0 lb-ft).
Do not allow contaminants to enter
the engine through the spark plug
holes when the plugs are removed.
• Never use spark plugs with the
wrong thread size or length.
