What It Helps Address

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

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle’s required gap before installation, since listed applications vary between .044, .050, .052, and .054 inches depending on year and model. Use the correct torque procedure for the tapered seat design and inspect ignition wires or coils during service.
