So, earlier today I was out trying to change out my spark plugs. But I ran in to a snag, when I couldnt find what the spark plug gap was sposed to be. I checked the door, and under the hood on the stickers. But I couldnt find it anywhere.. I have been known to be kinda blind.. but I was out there for 20 min looking for the dam thing

thanks again, you guys help a lot.

Mine are at 1.1mm which is what was recommended.

Pretty much every time I go get plugs, they always tell me the plugs are pre-gapped. They usually are dialed in at .044, which is close enough to spec.

platinum plugs are almost always pre-gapped. Only the standard plugs are really that adjustable.
