Nissan Repair: tune-up specs nissan pathfinder 1996 model, spark plug gap, nippondenso spark plugs


Question
What's the recomended spark plug and spark plug gap and what's the timing for a nissan pathfinder v-6 1996 model (automatic transmission)? Also what's the firing order?

Answer
Christian,

I would use NGK or Nippondenso spark plugs and a .044 inch gap.  Firing order should be 1-2-3-4-5-6 and that is looking at the front of the engine number 1 is on passenger side with even numbers on the driver's side.  Timing should be on a decal under the hood.  Look at the distributor as it should be match marked.
