I just bought my a 90 240sx and just doing all the maintanence, I don't see anywhere in the chilton manual where it tells me what to torque the spark plugs to.

 

the chilton manual sucks bro, FSM is best, i got it in the car and its raining hard or i would go get it and check it for u. Ill let you know 2moro if u still need it

 

I believe its from like 15 to 20 ft/lbs, I remember doing mine at 18ft/lbs

 

It's raining and your on your computer!?!?

... that was pointless, sorry.

 

HA HA HA HA HA , that was good.


The Chilton suggests that they are torqued to 14-22 ft lb on all models from 1982-1992.

The reason why the Chilton sucks is that its so vague and not more specific as an FSM would be.........but ths FSM is like $60 the Chilton is $15

 

dam Irb_2000 your turning into a post *****

Yeh the FSM is around 60-70 bucks but its worth it. i tried those online FSM but they never cover the KA24E, when i get my DE motors imma get it from online.

The chiltons covers like 3-4 cars in one manual thats why it sucks. It just covers the basics of the 240

 

I torque em tell they're tight....ish... maybe i should do it the right way.

I bought one of those cd's off ebay for my 89 coupe... it was okay I guess, could have had a better interface.., I lost it in like two days anyways...



Yeah, well... now that I feel comfortable enough not to get flamed everytime I say something, I like to post more. ...... oh yeah, I also have no life... and it wont freaking rain here... it's like 90+ everyday it sucks.. I hate the sun, it needs to be shot.

 

dam lets trade! i <3 the sun, i hate rain. Rains only good for one thing, makes the floor slippery so we save tires

 

Exactly my thoughts......
Rain when your trying to set-up your car is like school in summertime

 

back to the topic tho, i had no idea that they needed to be torqued. i used to just tighten em in till there snug and then leave it.

 

Yup. I thought the same thing, but it actually said that it can affect gas mileage if they are not properly torqued because the spark isnt in the proper position and what not

but I think its all good as long as they are snug fit

 

Anybody have any idea on what the torque spec for plugs on a 95?

 

I'm pretty sure its the same
