Unfortunately no--replace them. The electrodes wear down and become less efficient. The good news is that iridium plugs have a tremendous lifespan. You're supposed to change them every 100k miles/167k km.
O drove my Corolla to the point the spark plugs weren't firing and the car wouldn't start. I changed the plugs and it ran great after that.
Maintenance: 39th Oil Change (every 10K) and Tire Rotation, 13th Engine Air Filter, 13th Cabin Air Filter, 3 brake jobs, 3 coolant flushes, 2 spark plug changes w/carbon cleaning, no suspension work, no transmission service, 1 Break Down at 280K Due to a Design Flaw In The MGR Cable Which Powers The Hybrid System $5200, cat issue at 380K due to bad gas, no hybrid battery replacements in case you were wondering, does not consume oil
UPDATE: owners manual calls for replacement around 120k so I'm not that far behind i guess. Still went out and bought 4 new plugs and installed them. $80 at the dealer
Noticed before the LTFT was -6% and now its back to 0%.
Yes, a bad spark plug, incorrect type of spark plug, or a wide spark plug gap can cause a coil to fail. If electrical resistance in the secondary ignition circuit is too high the coil must generate a higher voltage to fire the plug.
Those look great last time I did mine they were all carboned up but I was at 300k but definitely made a difference in Fuel economy and a little less sluggish
I’ve owned my truck for a year now and just decided to take out the spark plugs to see how old they were… mfs were the original factory plugs 14 years old and ran for 246k miles.. basically got a brand new truck now haha
Only issue I’ve had is having 2 spark plugs blow out. The first time required a replacement head and the second was fixed with a helicoil. Most reliable vehicle I have owned.
Bought a 03 100 series with 241,000 only issue was the number 7 spark plug blew out, had to re-tap it and install a aluminum sleeve, and replace the coil
I was given an "offer" to have my spark plugs changed for $368!
