Chances are the spark plug manufacturer has an online application catalogue that also lists spark plug gaps for your brand of spark plug (these sometimes differ slightly from the OE recommendation).
Hi,
Yes it does. I found a site with pictures detailing how to access the spark plugs for replacement. (recommended every 60,000 miles) Plug gap is 1.1mm. Remember to dissconnect wiring and replace plugs one at a time to eliminate the chance of connecting wrong wire to wrong plug position. Wiring must be connected exactly as removed. Check out his page, requires minimal tools and labor.....Please rate this answer! Thanks, Mike http://bernardsblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/2005-toyota-corolla-18l-spark-plug.html
You'll have to change the plugs again. Chances are, you installed a bad plug. They may have been that way when you bought them, or damaged when you put them in. Spark plugs often get dropped while they're being shipped or put on shelves. when this happens, the ceramic insulator gets cracked and you can't even see it. The best thing to do is replace all of them because if one was dropped, chances are they all were.

On top of the head. Chances are they are recessed in the valve cover and you will need an extension to get them out. Follow the spark plug wires to the plug boot which go on top of the valve cover should be 4 black wires from left to right.
check you have the right spark plugs wires going to the right sparks plug. Check the vaccuum hose from carburettor is connected to the distributor of sparks.
What motor? Chances are you have the quad 4 and the plugs are located under thevalve cover. SHould see 4 black wires that go to the top of the motor (to plug boots) the spark plugs ae about 4 inches down. You will need a spark plug socket (i believe 5/8) and 10"extension. If you are not familar with how to remove the plugs I would recommend letting someons else do it. IF you break one of the plugs your really gonna kick yourself in the but. Good luck
I would suggest taking out ALL the plugs. The engine will turn over much faster and not drain the battery. You may find that the fuel in the engine has become diluted with water. This turning over without plugs will do a couple of things: a)free up and lubricate everything. b) give the fuel pump the greatest chance of getting fuel through to the cylinders, c) purge some stale fuel out of the engine. You should be able to smell petrol vapour once it's coming through, albeit feintly. c)Give you chance to check the spark on each plug. NOTE THE LOCATION OF EACH PLUG LEAD! If these get swapped round, it will never start until they are corrected!
follow the spark plug cables.. one end is the coil pack... the other end is the spark plugs if you still can't find them... that's not a diesel by chance is it ?
