Checking the spark plugs

The spark plugs are important engine
components, which are easy to check.
Since heat and deposits will cause any
spark plug to slowly erode, the spark
plugs should be removed and checked
in accordance with the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. In addition,
the condition of the spark plugs can re-
veal the condition of the engine.

To remove a spark plug

1. Remove the appropriate spark

plug cover (rear right or front left)
by removing the bolts.

2. Remove the spark plug cap.
