Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the electrode gap for this spark plug?

The electrode gap is pre-set at 1.0 mm, suitable for many standard applications. Always verify if your vehicle requires a different gap.

How do I know if this spark plug is compatible with my car?

Check your vehicle's owner's manual for the recommended spark plug specifications or consult a parts compatibility guide. This plug is a replacement for OEM numbers like Mitsubishi MD372421 and Toyota 9091901192.

What does 'Nickel Electrode' mean?

It means the center electrode is made of nickel alloy, which is known for its durability and resistance to wear compared to standard copper electrodes, leading to a longer service life.

What is the recommended tightening torque?

The recommended tightening torque for this spark plug is 28 Nm.

Can I adjust the electrode gap?

While the plug comes with a standard 1.0 mm gap, it is generally not recommended to adjust the gap on modern spark plugs, especially those with fine-wire or special alloy electrodes, as it can cause damage. Always use the gap specified for your vehicle.

How often should I replace spark plugs?

Replacement intervals vary greatly depending on the vehicle and the type of spark plug. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for the recommended maintenance schedule. Nickel spark plugs typically offer longer life than copper plugs.

What is the thread size and spanner size?

The thread size is M 14 x 1.25, and the required spanner size is 16 mm.

Troubleshooting

Engine misfires or runs rough after installation

Verify the spark plug was tightened to the correct torque (28 Nm) and that the spark plug wire or coil is securely connected. Ensure the correct spark plug model was installed for your vehicle.

Difficulty threading the spark plug

Stop immediately. You may be cross-threading the plug. Back it out and try again, ensuring it starts threading straight into the cylinder head by hand.

Reduced engine power or poor fuel economy

Check that all spark plugs were installed correctly and torqued properly. A damaged or improperly seated spark plug can cause these symptoms. Consider replacing all spark plugs if they are old.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable nickel electrode for extended lifespan.
  • Promotes optimal engine performance and efficiency.
  • Wide compatibility due to standard gap design.
  • Precise manufacturing ensures reliable ignition.
  • Easy to install with specified dimensions and torque.

Cons

  • Requires precise torque application during installation.
  • Nickel electrode may not be suitable for all extreme performance applications.
  • Standard gap may require adjustment for some highly specific engine tunings.
  • Requires specialized knowledge for correct installation to avoid damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the engine is cool before beginning.
  2. Carefully remove the old spark plug using the appropriate spanner size (16mm).
  3. Thread the new Bosch 0242229782 spark plug in by hand to avoid cross-threading.
  4. Tighten the spark plug to the recommended torque of 28 Nm using a torque wrench. Overtightening can damage the cylinder head, while undertightening can lead to poor performance and potential blow-by.
  5. Reconnect the spark plug wire or ignition coil.

Compatibility:

This spark plug is designed with specific dimensions (M 14 x 1.25 thread, 19mm thread length) and is compatible with a wide range of vehicles. Always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle's make, model, and year, or consult your owner's manual. It is known to be a replacement for OEM part numbers like Mitsubishi MD372421 and Toyota 9091901192.

Care:

Spark plugs are wear items and are not designed to be cleaned or reused once removed from service. Regular inspection during scheduled maintenance is recommended. If a spark plug appears fouled or damaged, it should be replaced.
