SPARK PLUGS INSPECTION
NOTICE:
wNever use a wire brush for cleaning.
wNever attempt to adjust the electrode gap on used a spark
plug.
wSpark plugs should be replaced every 100,000 km (60,000
miles).
1. REMOVE IGNITION COILS ASSEMBLIES
(See ignition coils removal)
2. INSPECT ELECTRODE
Using a megger (insulation resistance meter), measure the
insulation resistance.
Standard correct insulation resistance:
10 M or more
If the resistance is less than specified, proceed to step 4.
HINT: If a megger is not available, the following simple meth-
od of inspection provides fairly accurate results.
Simple Method:
(a) Quickly race the engine 5 times to 4,000 rpm.
(b) Remove the spark plug.
(c) Visually check the spark plug.
If the electrode is dry...OK
If the electrode is wet...Proceed to step 4
(d) Reinstall the spark plug.
3. REMOVE SPARK PLUGS
4. VISUALLY INSPECT SPARK PLUGS
Check the spark plug for thread damage and insulator dam-
age.
If abnormal, replace the spark plug.
Recommended spark plug:
ND
PK20R11
NGK
BKR6EP11
5. INSPECT ELECTRODE GAP
Maximum electrode gap for used spark plug:
1.3 mm (0.051 in.)
Correct electrode gap for new spark plug:
1.1 mm (0.043 in.)
NOTICE: If adjusting the gap of a new spark plug, bend only
the base of the ground electrode. Do not touch the tip. Never
attempt to adjust the gap on the used plug.

6. CLEAN SPARK PLUGS
If the electrode has traces of wet carbon, allow it to dry and
then clean with a spark plug cleaner.
Air pressure:
Below 588 kPa (6 kgf/cm
2, 85 psi)
Duration:
20 seconds or less
HINT: If there are traces of oil, remove it with gasoline before
using the spark plug cleaner.
7. REINSTALL SPARK PLUGS
Torque: 18 NVm (180 kgfVcm, 13 ftVlbf)
8. REINSTALL IGNITION COILS ASSEMBLIES
