Its copper core electrode supports strong conductivity and heat control, while nickel-based electrode materials help deliver consistent wear characteristics for everyday driving.
Key Features
- Copper core electrode for improved conductivity and heat management
- Nickel center electrode tip and nickel ground electrode core material
- Pre-gapped at 0.035 in. / 0.90 mm
- Resistor-type spark plug with a flat seat design
- 14 mm thread diameter, 0.75 in. reach, and 5/8 in. hex size
- Champion Copper Plus classification for OE-style secondary ignition service
- Part number 97 for easy identification during replacement
Product Details
This Champion spark plug uses a copper core design to promote reliable spark transfer and thermal control, which is important for stable combustion and consistent engine operation. The RC9MCC plug type, nickel electrode construction, and resistor design make it a practical choice for routine ignition service on vehicles such as the Lexus GS430, Toyota Tundra, and Scion tC. Champion Copper Plus 97 is also cross-referenced with Champion RC9MCC for the same application.
Common Issues It Can Address
- Hard starting caused by worn or fouled spark plugs
- Rough idle from weak or inconsistent spark output
- Misfire conditions related to degraded secondary ignition components
- Reduced throttle response from poor combustion efficiency
- Maintenance replacement for plugs that no longer hold proper gap
Installation Notes and Fitment Tips
Verify the required gap for your application before installation, since listed fitment notes vary by vehicle.
