spark plug gap is .044"
The Haynes repair manual says that the gap changed for the 98's and should be between .028 and .032. When buying from Autozone they will be gapped at .044 but this is incorrect. I installed 4 plugs today gapped at .044 and it idled very rough at redlights, pulled them out and gapped at .030 and it's running perfectly.
on my kia sephia it is 32 on a spark plug gapper
were are the sprk plugs located on a 1998 kia Sophia
When replacing the spark plugs it is important to know the size of the gap. The spark plug gaps on a 2000 Kia Sephia is .044 inches.

pick up the tool from kia parts usually you have to re tap it for a larger size insert or sleve to fit same size plug
If you look under the car, passenger's side, it should be right there up under the engine, or at least that is where it is on a 1998 KIA sephia.
