Gap (Spark Plug)

Different vehicles require different spark plugs and all the different types of spark plug require different gaps. The gap is the distance between the two electrodes on a spark plug. Gap can be measured by a feeler gauge and then either widened or narrowed until the correct distance is achieved. An incorrect gap distance can make an engine run poorly or in extreme circumstances the spark plug can fail to create a spark therefore making combustion impossible.
