- Misfire conditions related to plug wear or incorrect gap
- Reduced throttle response from inconsistent spark delivery
- Service replacement needs on OE-style dual-plug engines
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the engine uses the exhaust-side plug position shown in the fitment data before ordering. Confirm the specified gap and compare the old plug’s reach, seat type, and terminal style to the new plug before installation. Use the vehicle service information for torque and replacement procedure, especially on dual-plug engines where intake-side plugs are also used.
