phishy75 Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 You might want to check for a decimal point in there... Your's will probably be a little different than mine since I have an '86 EA82, but my gap is 0.040 inches which is 1.02 mm. I think you might mean 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 or 1.4mm. Beyond that I'm, not sure exactly what gap you are supposed to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLCraig Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 It's a 1600cc as in the EA71 right? If it is the gap should be 1.0-1.1mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northguy Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Be cool Phish, we all have to learn some time, and one way is to ask questions. That's part of why we exist. But it wouldn't hurt you, Moshe, to buy a repair manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, everyone here is giving you the information from US market repair manuals including the factory manuals from subaru. Oh if you have an EA82 then it's a 1800cc engine and it also has the same 1.0-1.1mm plug gap as I mentioned earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spark plug gap has more to do with the coil and the spark plug wires than anything else. Wider gaps need higher voltages generated by the coil and conducted by the wires. The higher the voltage, the more energy in the spark, and the greater the chance of successfully igniting the fuel and air mixture. If you have a similar ignition system to what is installed on US-version Subarus, then the gap should be similar. The suggested 1.0-1.1mm should be good.
