  • Question
  • Spark plugs in automobiles generally have a gap between


  • Options
  • A. 0.3 to 0.7 mm
  • B. 0.2 to 0.8 mm
  • C. 0.4 to 0.9 mm
  • D. 0.6 to 1.8 mm

  • Correct Answer
  • 0.6 to 1.8 mm 

    Explanation
    Spark plugs in automobiles generally have a gap between 0.6 and 1.8 mm (0.024 and 0.071 in). The gap may require adjustment from the out-of-the-box gap.
