    What should the Plug gap be for a 99 Kia Sephia and where is the Fuel Pump located on this car?

    Most fuel pumps are now located INSIDE the gas tank now from what I have been told.
    Otherwise follow the fuel line usually passenger side near rear wheel.

    Plug Gap 0.044

    Capt rich is right they pre gapped it .044 and say that is it
    But the hood sticker says .7-.8 mm

    Fuel pump access is under the rear seat, through the access port.

    If the plugs are NGK, the part number should end with an 8 for .8 mm, other cars use part number ending with 11 for 1.1 mm. Your parts store should not mess this one up and they are pre gapped, I just give them all a visual inspection to insure all the gaps look the same, its more difficult to damage a plug now a days during shipping as opposed to some years ago.
