Technical Description of Denso 3436 Spark Plug
This spark plug features a copper core center electrode with an iridium tip, which enhances electrical conductivity and wear resistance. The ground electrode uses a nickel core with a platinum needle tip arranged in a needle-to-needle configuration, promoting precise spark formation. The flat seat design ensures proper sealing in the combustion chamber, while the 1.1 mm pre-gap size supports reliable ignition timing. With a heat range of 20, this plug is optimized for the thermal requirements of Nissan Versa engines.
Applications and Problem Solving
- Replacement for worn or fouled spark plugs in Nissan Versa secondary ignition systems
- Helps address misfires and rough idling caused by electrode wear
- Improves ignition stability in engines experiencing inconsistent combustion
- Reduces electrode erosion and extends service intervals
- Supports efficient fuel combustion to maintain engine performance
Installation Notes and Tips
- Ensure the spark plug gap is set to 1.1 mm before installation if not pre-gapped
- Use a 14.3 mm hex socket for proper tightening torque
- Apply anti-seize compound on threads if recommended by the vehicle manufacturer
- Verify flat seat compatibility with the Nissan Versa engine cylinder head
- Follow manufacturer torque specifications to avoid damage
