Default Spark plug and lug question

Im going to be changing the plugs and rotating the tires on sat. Was wondering if anyone knew or can tell me where i can find out what the torque on the lug nuts is and also the space on the spark plugs. Or is this info in the owner's manual??

THANKS!!
Justin

The plug gap for your Caliber may be noted on the
emmissions control label under the hood.
Having said that for the 2.0/2.4 L engines it states
in the service manual that the gap will ideally
between .048 to .053 inches.
As a side note the screw that holds the coil pack on
uses a torx wrench and tightened to 9 N-m(79.5 inch lbs)
and the plugs are torqued to 27 N-m(20 foot lbs) use thread release also.
The wheel lugnuts are torqued to 135 N-m(100 foot lbs).
