Kia Stinger CK: Power Train / Spark Plug

Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual / Maintenance / Power Train / Spark Plug

Repair procedures

Inspection

[On vehicle inspection]

1.	Accelerate the engine to about 3,000 rpm 3 times or more.

2.	Remove the spark plug.

3.	Check the spark plug visually. If the electrode is dry, the spark plug is normal. If the electrode is wet, check the damage and electrode gap as below.

[Component Inspection]

1.	Check the spark plug for any damage on its thread and insulator. If there is damage, replace the spark plug.

Check the electrode. Measure the insulation resistance with an ohmmeter.

If the resistance is less than the specified value, adjust the electrode gap.

Specification: 10 MΩ or more

Check the spark plug electrode gap.

If the gap is greater than the maximum, replace the spark plug.

Specification:

Theta-II 2.0 T-GDI : 0.8 - 0.9 mm (0.0314 - 0.0354 in.)

Lambda-II 3.3 T-GDI : 1.0 - 1.1 mm (0.0394 - 0.0433 in.)

•	If adjusting the gap of a new spark plug, bend only the base of the ground electrode. Do not touch the tip. Never attempt to adjust the gap on a used plug.

Removal

Theta-II 2.0 T-GDI

1.	Remove the ignition coil. (Refer to Ignition System - "Ignition Coil")

2.	Using a spark plug wrench, remove the spark plug (A).

Lambda-II 3.3 T-GDI

1.	Remove the ignition coil. (Refer to Engine Electrical System - "Ignition Coil")

2.	Using a spark plug wrench, remove the spark plug (A). [Bank 1] [Bank 2]

Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Keep your vehicle clean

The best way to prevent corrosion is to keep your vehicle clean and free of corrosive materials. Attention to the underside of the vehicle is particularly important. If you live in a high-corrosion area — where road salts are used, near the ocean, areas with industrial pollution, acid rain, etc.—, you should take extra care to prevent corrosion.

Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Exhaust Emission Control System

Description and operation Description Exhaust emissions (CO, HC, NOx) are controlled by a combination of engine modifications and the addition of special control components. Modifications to the combustion chamber, intake manifold, camshaft and ignition system form the basic control system. These items have been integrated into a highly effective system which controls exhaust emissions while maintaining good drivability and fuel economy.
