Description and operation
A spark plug is a device for delivering electric current from an ignition system
to the combustion chamber of a spark-ignition engine to ignite the compressed fuel/air
mixture therein by means of an electric spark, while containing combustion pressure
within the engine. A spark plug has a metal threaded shell, electrically isolated
from a central electrode by a porcelain insulator.
Repair procedures
| 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.
|
| 1. |
Check the spark plug for any damage on its thread and insulator.
If there is damage, replace the spark plug.
|
| 2. |
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
|
|
| 3. |
Check the spark plug electrode gap.
If the gap is greater than the maximum, replace the spark plug.
|
Specification: 0.8 - 0.9 mm (0.0314 - 0.0354 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.
|
|
|
The combustion temporarily becomes unstable, due to the aged fuel and the carbon
deposits accumulated on the spark plug(s) after long-term storage.
| 1. |
Start the engine and keep the engine running at idle for 2 minutes.
|
| 2. |
Step on the accelerator pedal and hold it steady at 4500 rpm with the
shift lever in N position to warm up the engine until the temperature
of the engine coolant reaches 80°C.
|
| 3. |
Keep the engine running at 2500 - 3000 rpm in the N position for 15 minutes.
|
| • |
The 2nd method should be performed only if the 1st method fails
(the misfire-related codes recur).
|
|
| 1. |
Start the engine and keep the engine running at idle for 2 minutes.
|
| 2. |
Drive the vehicle for over 20 minutes, keeping the engine speed above
3500 rpm.
| •
|
If equipped with manual transaxle, shift the gear properly
for keeping the engine speed above 3500 rpm.
|
|
|
| 1. |
Remove the ignition coil.
(Refer to Ignition System - "Ignition Coil")
|
| 2. |
Using a spark plug wrench, remove the spark plug (A).
|
| 1. |
Install in the reverse order of removal.
|
Tightening torque:
14.7 - 24.5 N·m (1.5 - 2.5 kgf·m, 10.9 - 18.0 Ib·ft)

Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Restraint
General information
General
The supplemental restraint system (SRS) is designed to supplement the seat belt
to help reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and passenger by activating
and deploying the driver, passenger, side airbag and seat belt pretensioner in certain
frontal or side collisions.
The SRS (Airbag) consists of: a driver side airbag module with the folded cushion
and an inflator unit located at the center of the steering wheel, a passenger side
airbag module with the folded cushion assembled with inflator unit located in the
passenger side crash pad, side airbag modules with the folded cushion and an inflator
unit located in the front seat, and curtain airbag modules with folded cushions
and inflator units located inside the headliner.
Kia Stinger (CK) 2018-2023 Service Manual: Seat Belt Pretensioner (BPT)
Description and operation
Description
The Seat Belt Pretensioners (BPT) are installed inside the Center Pillars (LH
& RH). When a vehicle crashes at a certain degree of frontal impact, the seat belt
pretensioners help reduce the severity of injury to the front seat occupants by
retracting the seat belt webbing.
This prevents the front occupants from thrusting forward and hitting the steering
wheel or the instrument panel when the vehicle crashes.
