What is the spark plug gap on a 2008 Subaru Tribeca?

The spark plug gap on a 2008 Subaru Tribeca is 0.044 inches.

Does a bigger spark plug gap affect performance?

The larger the gap, the more voltage is needed to jump the gap. Most experienced tuners know that increasing the gap size increases the spark area exposed to the air-fuel mixture, which maximizes burn efficiency. For this reason, most racers add high-energy ignition systems.

How tight should Subaru spark plugs be?

Spark plugs do not need to be tightened much! My suggestion is to spin them as tight as they will go by hand, and then just a little bit more with a ratchet. Less is more! If you purchase NGK spark plugs, on the box it will instruct you to go 1/4 turn past finger tight.

The incorrect plug gap for your engine can contribute to a high rate of misfires, loss of power, plug fouling, poor fuel economy and accelerated plug wear. It is always best to check the gap against the manufacturer’s specifications.

What is the spark plug gap for ignition system?

Spark plug gaps for car engines are typically 0.6 to 1.8 mm (0.024 to 0.071 in). Modern engines (using solid-state ignition systems and electronic fuel injection) typically use larger gaps than older engines that use breaker point distributors and carburetors.

How do I find spark plug gap?

The distance of the gap on a spark plug depends on the voltage and amperage generated by the ignition coil. The gap specification is determined by the vehicle manufacturer during engine design and is commonly found in the vehicle owner’s manual or the emission sticker under the hood.

What happens when spark plug gap is wrong?

Any spark plugs that are gapped incorrectly can result in poor engine performance by altering engine combustion, weakening the ignition spark, and delaying the arcing of the ignition spark as it crosses each spark plug diode.
