k .. what are the best kind of spark plugs? and what's spark plug gap?
IK20 is definitely the right spark plug for me, but what's the gap thing? can i buy like 0.040 gap - spark plugs, or is that sometime i just setup my self or what?

You can buy pre-gapped spark plugs, or gap them yourself. The gap refers to the space inbetween the prong on the bottom of the plug. The gap differs for every engine and amount of horsepower. You can do it yourself easily w/ a spark plug gapping tool.

since you are a 2.0 you'll be fine with plat's or iridium plugs. turbo guys should stick with copper plugs, there are many threads on vortex regarding the subject.

Re: Spark Plugs

I bought a plug gapper today but there was 2 kinds - 1 that went from like 2-80 and another that was 3-60ish with more mid range gaps. What's the typical gap we use?

Re: Spark Plugs

K thx, the tool is .025 to .050 so I'll keep it.

Re: Spark Plugs

The 2.0's require a gap of .035 to .043 in.

You would want the fresh plugs to have a gap closer to 0.035 in.

The larger the gap...the more power it requires for the current to jump from the center electrode to the ground electrode...thus less power and increased fuel economy.

Re: Spark Plugs

Also...checked the Bentley for the 2.0 engines:

AEG:
NGK BKUR 6ET-10 <=> Denso IK20

AVH, AZG:
NGK PZF R5D-11 <=> Denso IK16

So make sure you get the right spark plug for the correct engine you have
