* Engine variations: Toyota pickups from 1988 came with multiple engine options (22R, 22RE, 3.0L V6, etc.). Each engine has a specific recommended spark plug gap.
* Spark plug type: The recommended gap can also vary slightly depending on the type of spark plug you're using.
To find the correct spark plug gap for your specific 1988 Toyota pickup, you should:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source for this information.
2. Look up the information online: Use your engine code and year to search for the recommended spark plug gap on reputable automotive websites or forums.
3. Contact a Toyota dealer or mechanic: They can give you the specific information based on your vehicle's identification number (VIN).
Always use the manufacturer's recommended spark plug gap. Using the wrong gap can lead to poor engine performance, misfires, and even damage to your engine.
