Gapping spark plugs


Recommended Posts

My starlet has developed a misfire while under boost, does anyone know what the correct gapping is supposed to be? My dizzy, rotor and leads have all done less than a 1000 miles so I am at a bit of a loss whats causing it. Plugs are nice and clean and all the same colour on the tips, kinda of a brownish/whitish tan colour.



What do you gap yours at?

Hmm, I got someone at work to gap mine to 1mm. Is this too much then?

They are iridium heat range 7

The iridiums come pre gapped, but always a good idea to check them all. Should be fine if the motor is not missfiring.

Bigger gap will create a bigger spark which is good to get a cleaner burn, but it also puts more electrical strain on the coil.

The Toyota ignition system is very robust, it should be ok.
