star Top Answer
The Chevy Cruze's 1.4 liter 4Cylinder and 1.6 liter 4Cylinder diesel engine are equipped with 5/8" spark plugs that must be tightened to a torque of 18 ft-lbs. Most vehicles will need the plugs replaced over the lifetime of the vehicle. Chevrolet recommends having them serviced at 100,000 miles initially. Signs a vehicle may require spark plug replacement include mIS Firing, loss of fuel economy, backfires, difficulty starting, hesitation and jerky acceleration as well as a loss of power. As key components in managing the engine's timing, ignition and spark, it's important to maintain their health for the sake of the Cruze's engine. Cost to replace averages between $122-$140 per plug in parts and labor.
