B: INSTALLATION
1. RH SIDE
Install in the reverse order of removal.
Tightening torque (Spark plug):
21 N·m (2.1 kgf-m, 15.2 ft-lb)
Tightening torque (Ignition coil):
16 N·m (1.6 kgf-m, 11.7 ft-lb)
NOTE:
The tightening torque described above should be
applied to only new spark plugs without oil on their
threads.
In case their threads are lubricated, the torque
should be reduced by approx. 1/3 of the specified
torque in order to avoid over-stressing.
2. LH SIDE
Install in the reverse order of removal.
Tightening torque (Spark plug):
21 N·m (2.1 kgf-m, 15.2 ft-lb)
Tightening torque (Ignition coil):
16 N·m (1.6 kgf-m, 11.7 ft-lb)
NOTE:
The tightening torque described above should be
applied to only new spark plugs without oil on their
threads. In case their threads are lubricated, the
torque should be reduced by approx. 1/3 of the
specified torque in order to avoid over-stressing.
C: INSPECTION
Check the electrodes and inner and outer ceramic
insulator of plugs, noting the type of deposits and
the degree of electrode erosion.
1) Normal:
Brown to grayish-tan deposits and slight electrode
wear indicate correct spark plug heat range.

2) Carbon fouled:
Dry fluffy carbon deposits on insulator and elec-
trode are mostly caused by slow speed driving in
the city, weak ignition, too rich fuel mixture and dirty
air cleaner.
3) Oil fouled:
Wet black deposits show oil entrance into the com-
bustion chamber through worn rings and pistons or
excessive clearance between valve guides and
stems.
4) Overheating:
White or light gray insulator with black or brown
spots and bluish burnt electrodes indicate engine
overheating. Moreover, the appearance results
from incorrect ignition timing, loose spark plugs,
wrong selection of fuel, hotter range plug, etc.
D: ADJUSTMENT
Clean the spark plugs using a wire brush. Clean
and remove the carbon or oxide deposits. But do
not wear away ceramic insulator at this time. If de-
posits are too stubborn, replace the spark plugs.
After cleaning the spark plugs, measure the spark
plug gap using a gap gauge.
NOTE:
Do not use a plug cleaner because the spark plugs
are applied with iridium tip.
Spark plug gap L:
0.7 — 0.8 mm (0.028 — 0.031 in)

3. Idle Speed
A: INSPECTION
1) Before checking the idle speed, check the fol-
lowing item:
(1) Check the air cleaner element is free from
clogging, ignition timing is correct, spark plugs
are in good condition, and hoses are connected
properly.
(2) Check the malfunction indicator light does
not illuminate.
2) Idle the engine.
3) Stop the engine, and turn the ignition switch to
OFF.
4) Insert the cartridge to Subaru Select Monitor.
5) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to data link
connector.
6) Turn the ignition switch to ON and Subaru Select
Monitor switch to ON.
7) Select {Each System Check} in Main Menu.
8) Select {Engine} in Selection Menu.
9) Select {Current Data Display & Save} in Engine
Control System Diagnosis.
10) Select {Data Display} in Data Display Menu.
11) Start the engine, and read the engine idle
speed.
12) Check the idle speed when no-loaded. (Head-
light, heater fan, rear defroster, radiator fan, A/C
and etc. are OFF)
Idle speed [No load and gears in neutral]:
650±50 rpm
13) Check the idle speed when loaded. (Turn the A/
C switch to “ON” and operate the compressor for at
least one minute before measurement.)
Idle speed [A/C ON and gears in neutral]:
770±50 rpm
NOTE:
Idle speed cannot be adjusted manually, because
the idle speed is automatically adjusted. If the pre-
scribed idle speed cannot be maintained, refer to
General On-board Diagnosis Table under “Engine
Control System”. sic Diagnostic Procedure.>
