SOURCE: dual electrode spark plugs

Gap it to 0.7m You do not want to close the gap too much or it will burn to hot and faul your plugs too soon. Make sure your useing a metric gap. If you have a thousandths gap gauge, go to between 27 and 28 thousandths of an inch. Here is a conversion table for you to print out.

SOURCE: spark plug type and gap setting please

I believe NGK brand is the best. Get the stock plug for your bike from the dealer. Gap should be 30 thousandths.

I recently replaced the spark plugs on my 2001 toyota tacoma and now the engine idles high. no vacuum leaks, and nothing else was adjusted. could it be the spark plug gap?

NO ENGINE TOLD AT ALL OR VIN OR COUNTRY.
3 ENGINES USED. 2.4, 2.7 AND 3.4v6

FIRST OFF LEARN THIS FACT
THE MACHINES AT NGK SET ALL PLUGS TO
0.045" NEVER TO 0.45 ( i CAN THROW A HAT THROUGH THAT CRAZY WIDE GAP)
SURE YOU MISSED A KEY ZERO.
SURE.
AND EACH MAKER PLUG USES THERE OWN DEFAULT STANDARD MACHINE GAP . (FACTORY)
NOBODY MAKES A SPARK PLUG FRONT 100,000 ENGINES. NOBODY. THEY ARE BY HEAT RANGE AND SIZE.
THAT MEANS SET THE GAP TO OEM TOY SPEC.
NGK CATALOG ONLINE EVEN TELLS THAT SPEC.

IDLES HIGH COLD OR HOT ENGINE OR BOTH
NOT TOLD AND IS A KEY FACT NOT TOLD.
THE SPEC IS
IN THE SM

Adjust the spark plug electrode gap. Electrode gap for new spark plug is 1.0 to 1.1 mm (0.039 to 0.043 in.).
BEST IS 1MM SET, AND THAT LOWER SETTING
ALLOWS THE GAP TO WIDEN IT IT AGES AND RUN LONGER AND BETTER.

NO PLUGS TOLD
THE OEM TYPE CALLED J PLUGS ARE SET PER ABOVE
BUT SOME ODD DUCK BOSCH SURFACE FIRE
ARE FACTORY SET (BOSCH) AT 0.063 AND NOT ADJUSTABLE AT ALL
SO AS YOU LEARNED SPARK IS COMPLEX./
FOR SURE RUNNING ANY KIND OF ODD PLUGS.
SOLD NOW.

ID RUN

NGK 7090 G-Power; Pre-Set Gap: 0.040" Info
OE-Recommended Gap: 0.044"

What is the spark plug gap

A gap tool is what you use to set the gap on your spark plugs...The gap is the tiny space on your spark plug that allows the plug to fire the engine. When you buy the spark plugs at the auto parts, the spark plugs come pre gapped for your specific engine. I usually check them to make sure.

Spark plug gap settings chart

Hello,

The spark plug gap depends from the engine make/model, not from the spark plug type.
Usually all engines will run with a gap between 0.7 and 1.00mm

Spark plugs gap

no engine stated? wow. 3.5L? says no gap settings.
its in the FSM. many cars dont put it in the op guide as the plugs
are rated to 80k miles or more, and is not consider, operator deal.
sadly.
and many folks think the new plugs are set in the factory , WRONG. (comment is for J plugs not surface fire tech)

i see you are there.!
many stores, list it wrongly too.... vast....
but you never said country car was sold.
in the USA we open the hood, look up and behold, its right there.
the vacuum and turn up sticker,
now alldata.com
quotes to follow.........all.
the original equipment spark plugs installed in the Odyssey 3.5L V-6 engine are platinum tip spark plugs, and the plug gap must not be adjusted.
and other warnings, and the no file them warn.g
On CR-V and 4-cylinder Odyssey models, adjust the spark plug gap to 0.039-0.043 inches (1.0-1.1mm). On Odysseys with the V6 engine, check, but do not adjust the spark plug gap. The spark plug gap should be 0.039-0.043 inches (1.0-1.1mm). If the spark plug gap exceeds 0.051inches (1.3mm), replace the spark plug.

so 1mm , if not v6

Need do know the spark plugs gap

If you're replacing the spark plugs in your car engine, you'll need to set the gap before reseating the spark plug. The gap is the distance electricity arcs between the ground electrode and center electrode. The gap must be set correctly to ensure maximum performance. Here's how to set the gap of a spark plug.

  1. Remove the spark plug wires. Use a socket wrench to remove the spark plugs from their chambers.
  2. Clean the spark plug if you are not replacing it with a new one. Remove all dirt and debris from the spark plug.
  3. Check the owner's manual for your car (or any appliance with spark plugs) to find out the recommended gap setting.
  4. Use a gap tool to check the gap of the spark plug. Slip the tool between the ground electrode and center electrode. The gap tool should fit snugly at the recommended gap width indicated on the tool.
  5. Push the tool between the electrodes a few times to ensure proper gap. If the gap is too wide, push the ground electrode firmly against a flat surface to narrow the gap and then check again with the gap tool.
  6. Repeat Step 5 as necessary until you reach the correct gap. Reseat the spark plug and reattach the spark plug wires
Good Luck
