What Do Spark Plugs Do? Spark plugs generate the spark needed for combustion, igniting the fuel-air mixture inside the cylinder to drive the engine.

How Do Spark Plugs Work?

• The spark plug is screwed into the engine’s cylinder head and positioned inside the combustion chamber.

• When the ECU determines the correct timing, it signals the coil pack to send high-voltage electricity to the spark plug.

• This generates an electric arc, igniting the fuel-air mixture, creating an explosion that pushes the piston downand rotates the crankshaft.

Signs That Spark Plugs Need Replacing:

• Hard starting or difficulty turning over the engine.

• Engine cutting out after starting.

• Rough running or misfiring.

• Excessive vibration from the engine.

• Check Engine Light illuminated on the dashboard.

What Happens During a Spark Plug Replacement? A mechanic will:

1. Read the ECU for fault codes related to the ignition system.

2. Inspect the ignition system and spark plugs.

3. Replace the full set of spark plugs, if necessary.

4. Check if additional components need replacement.

5. Verify ignition system functionality and perform a test drive.
