Spark Plug Boots / Terminals

Spark plug boots & terminals are components that connect the ignition wires to the spark plugs in an internal combustion engine. They serve as the interface between the ignition system & the spark plugs, ensuring a reliable electrical connection. Spark plug boots are made of heat-resistant materials such as silicone or EPDM rubber, which can withstand the high temperatures generated by the engine. They are designed to provide insulation & protection for the ignition wires & spark plugs, preventing electrical leakage & arcing. Spark plug terminals, on the other hand, are typically made of metal & provide a secure connection between the ignition wires & the spark plugs. They are designed to withstand the electrical current & heat generated during the combustion process. Over time, spark plug boots & terminals can become worn, cracked, or corroded, which can lead to electrical resistance & poor performance. Regular inspection & replacement of damaged or worn spark plug boots & terminals are necessary to ensure optimal ignition system performance & prevent misfires.
