CAUTION:
  • Do not attempt to adjust the gap of the iridium plug.
  • Cleaning of the iridium plug may result in damage to the iridium tips. Therefore, if carbon deposits must be removed, use a plug cleaner and complete cleaning within 20 seconds to protect the electrode. Do not use a wire brush.

Check the plug gap and replace if the limit is exceeded.
