Before removing the spark plug, be sure
to clean the area around the spark plug. If
you do not, dirt could enter engine when
removing or installing the spark plug.

for proper ignition. Use a feeler gauge to
check the gap.

tighten it securely. A new spark plug should
be tightened 1/2 turn once the washer con-
tacts the cylinder head. A used spark plug
should be tightened 1/8 - 1/4 turn once the
washer contacts the cylinder head.

The air filter inside the air filter housing

the following procedure to remove the fil-
ter and inspect and/or clean it.
NOTE: The air filter is located
above and in front of the rear right

quently if the vehicle is used in dusty,
