for carbon deposits. When carbon
accumulates on a spark plug, a strong spark
may not be produced. Remove carbon
deposits with a wire or pin and adjust the spark
plug gap.

When disconnecting the spark plug
cables, pull on the boot, not on the
cable itself. Pulling on the cable can

NOTE:
If you experience some firing problem of spark
plugs, such as, hard engine-starting, misfire
etc., the cause may be located not only on
spark plugs but also on deteriorated ignition
wiring (generally, used for more than 80,000
km or five years). If spark plug replacement
does not solve the problem, have the ignition
wiring and other ignition system inspected by
your MARUTI dealer.
