Does anyone know the correct Spark Plug gaps for the Fiesta ST?
I can't seem to find it in the hand book.

According to adam08 the gap is 2 inches. But Dave t st says it's 1.6mm which sounds better.

1.3mm is the correct gap mate

Your new plugs should come with the correct gap straight out of the box, if you get standard Nickel Alloy plugs you can get away with adjusting the gap slightly without damaging the central electrode ... just be extremely careful!

If you get Iridium plugs "DO NOT" try to adjust the gap ... you will easily break or damage the central electrode .. just install them and forget them for another 60,000 miles.
