Collection: Spark Plugs

Spark plugs play a vital role in the combustion process of an internal combustion engine. They are responsible for igniting the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber, creating the necessary spark to initiate the combustion process. Spark plugs are typically located at the top of the engine's cylinders & are connected to the ignition system. When the fuel-air mixture is compressed in the cylinder, the spark plug generates an electric spark across the spark plug gap, which ignites the mixture, causing it to burn & produce power. Spark plugs are designed to withstand high temperatures & pressures, & they come in various types, such as copper, platinum, & iridium, each with different performance characteristics & longevity. Proper maintenance of spark plugs is crucial for engine performance & fuel efficiency. Over time, spark plugs can become worn or fouled, leading to reduced engine performance, misfires, & poor fuel economy. Regular inspection & replacement of spark plugs according to the manufacturer's recommendations are essential for optimal engine operation.
