C: CAUTION
• Prior to starting work, pay special attention to the following:
1. Always wear work clothes, a work cap, and protective shoes. Additionally, wear a helmet, protective
goggles, etc. if necessary.
2. Protect the vehicle using a seat cover, fender cover, etc.
3. Prepare the service tools, clean cloth, containers to catch grease and oil, etc.
• Vehicle components are extremely hot immediately after driving. Be wary of receiving burns from heated
parts.
• When performing a repair, identify the cause of trouble and avoid unnecessary removal, disassembly and
replacement.
• Before disconnecting connectors of sensors or units, be sure to disconnect the ground cable from battery.
• Always use the jack-up point when the shop jacks or rigid racks are used to support the vehicle.
• Remove contamination including dirt and corrosion before removal, installation, disassembly or assembly.
• Keep the removed parts in order and protect them from dust and dirt.
• All removed parts, if to be reused, should be reinstalled in the original positions with attention to the correct
directions, etc.
• Bolts, nuts and washers should be replaced with new parts as required.
• Be sure to tighten the fasteners including bolts and nuts to the specified torque.

2) Check the spark plug electrode and condition of the insulator. If abnormal, check and repair the cause and
replace the spark plug.
(1) Normal:
Brown to grayish-tan deposits and slight electrode wear indicate correct spark plug heat range.

IG-02135

(2) Carbon fouled:

Dry fluffy carbon deposits on the insulator and electrode are mostly caused by slow-speed driving in town,
weak ignition, too rich fuel mixture, etc.

(3) Oil fouled:

Wet black deposits show oil entrance into combustion chamber through worn piston rings or increased
clearance between valve guides and valve stems.

(4) Overheating:
A white or light gray insulator with black or brown spots and bluish burnt electrodes indicate engine over-
heating, wrong selection of fuel, or loose spark plugs.

3) Using a nylon brush, etc., clean and remove the carbon or oxide deposits from the spark plug. If deposits
are too stubborn, replace the spark plugs. After cleaning the spark plugs, check the spark plug gap “L” using
a gap gauge. If it is not within the standard, replace the spark plug.
NOTE:
• Never use a plug cleaner.
• Do not use a metal brush as it may damage the electrode area.
