I would like to replace the spark plugs on my 93. I have OEM plugs, but I would like to make sure that I gap them right. I don't have FSM yet.
Thanks,

Look on the stickers on the hood
I just checked under my hood and couldn't find it on any of the tags but it's dark and I'm using a flashlight. I found timing, valve specs, oil and filter info but not this. Maybe I just missed it. My Haynes manual list the spark plug gap at .032". If you ask the place that sells you the plugs, they should have this info as well. I don't trust the gap they come with and alway's gap them myself to make sure.

Bryan,
I have only one sticker, but it doesn't the gap info at all.

Does increasing the gap help of hinder in the 1fz?
I've seen it said that increasing the gap from .032 to .05 will give you better fuel economy (yeah...right), but I think you'd need a high performance coil to push the spark that much futher? Don't know anyone that's done it intentionally, except by letting their plugs get burned to that point.
Alex,
I am running platinum plugs, and these did require to be gaped.
Toyota OEM plugs come pre-gaped, and are usually right on.
I did a search with "platinum spark plugs" my user name, and back 600 days and came up with: https://forum.ih8mud.com/index.php?action=search2
hope this helps
