Fitment includes vehicles such as the Hyundai Sonata, Toyota Corolla, and BMW 325i, along with many other applications listed in the fitment data. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks \u0026amp; Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe copper core supports efficient current transfer, while the iridium tip adds a fine-wire firing surface that helps maintain spark consistency. Because the fitment list includes multiple gap specifications, verify the engine’s required gap and plug style before installation. SP1042 is also referenced for applications on the Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Optima, making it a useful catalog match for service work on those platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Helps Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard starting caused by worn spark plug electrodes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMisfire concerns from excessive plug wear or incorrect gap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRough idle linked to weak ignition output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced throttle response from inconsistent spark delivery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eService replacement needs on vehicles with specified plug reach and gap requirements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm the engine code, plug gap, and reach listed for the application before installation. Several fitments in the catalog use different gap values, so the plug should be checked against the vehicle service specification.
