INSPECTION
1. INSPECT SPARK PLUG
(a) Inspect spark plug gap.
NOTICE:
• Because an iridium plug is used, do not adjust the gap
of the spark plug except when using a new plug (when
the vehicle was driven 1000 km or less).
• Do not damage the iridium tip.
Standard
Manufacturer
Type
Specified Value
(mm)
Maximum (mm)

IG
(b)
(c)
If the gap is larger than the maximum, replace the spark plug
because the iridium tip is worn out.
NOTICE:
Because a long-reach plug is used, be sure to replace the
plug with the specified plug.
Clean the spark plug.
NOTICE:
Do not clean the spark plug as it may damage the iridium
tip.However, if the plug is extremely dirty due to smoke
damage or for other reasons, the spark plug may be
cleaned for very short time (less than 20 seconds) using a
spark plug cleaner. In order to prevent damage to the electrode,
do not exceed 20 seconds.
