What This Spark Plug Helps Address

• Hard starting caused by worn or fouled spark plugs
• Rough idle from inconsistent spark delivery
• Misfire conditions related to degraded ignition performance
• Reduced fuel economy from inefficient combustion
• Loss of throttle response from weak spark output

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, verify the engine calls for a 14.00 mm thread diameter, 12.70 mm reach, flat seat, and 20.6 hex size. Confirm the heat range and electrode style against the vehicle service specification before installing Denso 6001.

Use proper spark plug service procedures, including checking the gap specification if required by the application and tightening to the manufacturer’s torque recommendation. For Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla maintenance, matching the exact OE-style plug specification is important for correct ignition performance.
