What is a Spark Plug? What are the functions of spark plugs in cars What does a sparkplug do? What is the life expectancy of spark plugs?
The spark plug is the part that contains two electrodes made of porcelain. It provides a spark gap within the engine cylinders.
What are the functions of spark plugs?
The spark plug’s task is to transfer the ignition energy to a combustion chamber and start the combustion of the compressed-air-fuel mixture. The ignition coil increases the average voltage of 30 thousand Volts it receives from a battery and transfers it to a spark plug. At the right time, this high-energy spark transforms into a spark which ignites the spark between the nails (electrodes). Ideal combustion requires a spark plug that is located in a good location. The spark plug holds the air-fuel mixture inside the ignition chamber where it is most likely to ignite under all conditions. Each car has four spark plugs. However, depending on the car’s make, model, horsepower, and injection-carburetor, the number of sparkplugs will vary.
Three cylinders make the Suzuki Swift 1000 engine vehicle, so three spark plugs will be used.
Spark Plugs Last How Long?
It will vary depending on the spark plug type and conditions, but it is generally recommended that an IRIDIUM sparkplug be replaced after 40-50 million km. It is recommended that spark plugs be replaced as a complete set and not separately.
Spark Plugs’ Life Expectancy is Shortened by Factors
Bad fuel is the main reason for a shorter spark plug life. The engine system’s settings are another important factor. One example of this is continuous engine operation with a rich mix.
How do you tell if a spark plug is dead?
These problems could be caused by a bad spark plug.
