5. Spark Plugs (Replace)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Iridium plugs are used. Use care not to damage the iridium tips of the plugs. Do not adjust the spark plug gap.
  1. Spark plugs must spark properly to assure proper engine performance and reduce exhaust emission level.

    Therefore, they should be replaced periodically with new ones.
