1.1mm
pull your plugs out, write down the code, go buy the same ones. the book might say .9mm, but 1.1 is fine, and is recommended in the NGK plug book... they are cheap took.. NGK R I forget the plug code. it has -11 on the end though (meaning 1.1mm) they are preset out of the box. anyway, even if you dont pull your plugs, just use the code book that is at the shop. these days you dont need to change plugs gaps :) |

the plugs are NGK and the code is BKR5ES-11. changed mine a few days ago with the wrong plugs, some ACDelco ones. the cg13 was struggling hardcore. then switched them back to the NGKs and i must've dropped one coz plug 3 had no gap. firing on 3 cyls and was struggling just as hard. but after we gapped it again it was fine

Yeah I think I used to have the iridium tipped ones (same fitment as Nissan Maxima), but now I just have the regular NGKs that the micra comes with factory. Work fine, my ignition system has never missed a beat, including factory dizzy.

i agree don't think the iridium plugs are worth it.
change your plugs every coule of service..15 bucks..whos worrying |
