Spark Plug: Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Subaru Outback. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Clean the spark plugs using a wire brush.

Clean and remove the carbon or oxide deposits. But do not wear away ceramic insulator at this time. If deposits are too stubborn, replace the spark plugs.

NOTE: Do not use a plug cleaner because the spark plugs are applied with iridium tip.
