Ford Escape Spark Plug Gap Specs
| APPLICATION / ITEM | SPECIFICATION | NOTES |
|---|---|---|
| 2019 Escape 1.5L EcoBoost I4 | 0.025–0.029 in | 0.65–0.75 mm; Ford owner manual |
| Firing order | 1-3-4-2 | Confirms four-cylinder 1.5L |
| 2020+ 1.5L three-cylinder | Separate specification | Different engine architecture |
| 2.0L / 2.5L / hybrid | Use exact engine row | Do not transfer this gap |
Confirm the Motorcraft-equivalent plug for the VIN before measuring. Use a wire gauge, handle the fine-wire center electrode carefully and replace a plug whose electrode or insulator is damaged rather than forcing it to the range.

Ford Escape Spark Plug Gap Specs by Engine FAQs
What is the spark plug gap on a 2019 Ford Escape 1.5L EcoBoost?+
0.025–0.029 in (0.65–0.75 mm), per the Ford owner manual for the 2019 Escape's 1.5L four-cylinder EcoBoost.
Does the 2020+ 1.5L use the same gap?+
No. The later 1.5L is a three-cylinder — a different engine architecture with its own specification. The 1.6L and 2.0L EcoBoost, the 2.5L naturally aspirated engine and the hybrids each have separate rows too.
How can I confirm I have the four-cylinder 1.5L?+
Its firing order is 1-3-4-2, which confirms a four-cylinder rather than the later three-cylinder engine. Also check the Motorcraft-equivalent plug listed for the VIN before measuring.
Can I regap a plug that is out of range?+
Use a wire gauge and handle the fine-wire center electrode carefully. A plug with a damaged electrode or insulator should be replaced rather than forced into range.
