4 Things That Happen To your Engine When you Install a New Spark Plug

Maintaining your vehicle is full of small reminders. One of those is of changing the spark plug of our vehicle’s engine. Spark plugs are extremely important when it comes to the engine’s performance. Changing the spark plug is a way of assuring top efficiency and performance. The manufacturer’s guide is the best regarding spark plugs, there’s better knowledge about the inner workings in the manual. When you change your old spark plug with a new one, there are some changes you will definitely notice right away. Increase in Performance   When you change your  spark plugs , you ensure efficiency and performance of your vehicle by better combustion, lower emissions and good horsepower. Improved Fuel Economy When you replace an old spark plug with a new one and new plug wire, it can automatically improve the fuel economy because bad and burned plugs make engine performance worst and it can result into decreased engine performance. No Plug Fou...

Hot Spark Plugs Vs Cold Spark Plugs

Image
A spark plug is a device for delivering electric current from an ignition system to the combustion chamber of an SI engine or Petrol engine to ignite the compressed fuel/air mixture by an electric spark. Based on Heat Range it is of two types: Hot type spark plug & Cold type spark plug. A  spark plug  is said to be “hot” if it is a better heat insulator, keeping more heat in the tip of the spark plug. A spark plug is said to be “cold” if it can conduct more heat out of the spark plug tip and lower the tip’s temperature. Whether a spark plug is “hot” or “cold” is known as the heat range of the spark plug. The heat range of a spark plug is typically specified as a number. In a spark plug, the metal shell of each fitting works at a nearly indistinguishable temperature from the metal of the head itself. Plugs with the same diameter will still have different lengths of the insulator nose. This means, they each can indicate which one is hotter...
