- Spark Plug
-
- This engine
- component provides
- the exact gap
- through which a
- spark may travel
- and ignite the fuel
- inside the
- combustion chamber.
- Individual plugs
- are directly
- attached to the
- distributor through
- carbon cables where
- they receive the
- current used to
- provide the arc.
-
- Spark plugs must be
- exactly the right
- size for the
- combustion chamber
- and deliver the
- same voltage spark
- thousands of times
- a minute.
- Otherwise, engine
- wear or failure may
- occur.
