What is the Spark plug gap size for a 98 ford escort 4 door?

This info should be in your owners manual. This job, while relatively simple, does require special tools and has some hidden hazards. You will have to have a socket (and handle) and extension to fit your spark plug size ... you will need a feeler gage to set them. You will need a filter wrench, a catch basin and a socket the proper size to pull the oil pan plug. BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT REINSTALLING THE PLUGS THAT THEY DONT GET CROSS THREADED. One cross threaded plug will wipe out all savings you had hoped to achieve by doint this work yourself.

If you cannot find your owners manual ... the folks at the auto parts store can provide you with the proper parts and tools to do this job as well as some tips for the first time back yard mechanic.

Please dispose of the used oil in the proper manner consistent with environmental needs.

Thanks

16mm plug spanner, a regular socket is ok so long as it is a tight fit.
Use an extender and a crossbar on the socket instead of a ratchet, that way you can keep the socket dead straight.

LOOK UNDER THE HOOD, SEARCH AROUND AND YOU WILL SEE A WHITE STICKER WITH THE ENGINE FAMILY/DISPLACEMENT AND ON THE BOTTOM OF THE STICKER THE MANUFACTURER GIVES YOU THE SPARK PLUG GAP. HOPE THIS HELPS. LET ME KNOW. GOOD LUCK

If u buy plugs from autozone, or any other parts store, they're all ready pre-gapped. don't mess w/ them, and you'll be fine.
