Different spark plug gap size from the manufacturer's specs will cause premature wear of the electrodes, causes misfires, early fouling.
I got the info from the Service Manual (not Owners Manual) of 2007 Yaris with 1NZ-FE engine (same like yours). Also if your plug is NGK BKR5EYA-11, the last numbers corresponds to the gap of the plug.
0.8 mm spark plug is also used by Toyota for the 1NZ-FE. Follow this link for the explanation. http://myviosjournal.blogspot.com/20...ark-plugs.html





Well, either way, would you know if what would happen if we used a different gap size for the engine?
