Spark plug Manufacturers in India - NGK Spark Plugs

There are times that your car doesn’t start smoothly or the worst-case scenario, not at all. You might think in such a case that it is something major, like your engine or some loose wires or the battery which are at fault. But you need to dig a little deeper to know that the problem is not what is visible to the eye, it is something which is not. You might be under the impression that it is the engine, but it might be your glow plugs. What are glow plugs? It is well known that diesel engines rely on the heat of the compression rather than spark plugs to ignite the fuel in the cylinder. But in a case of low temperatures, the cold block present in the engine tends to absorb any compression heat which makes starting a bit difficult. The glow plug provides an answer to this, making you understand that it is an essential part of the modern diesel engine. Glow Plugs are the pen-like devices that provide extra heat in each cylinder to ignite the fuel more easily and make the engine st...

Our love for our vehicles might last forever, but at times they cannot even take the smallest of the problems like a spark plug gap. We might overlook the spark plug gap during our routine checks of the engine but an incorrect spark plug gap might adversely affect the vehicle's performance. Here are a few important points you cannot miss out about the spark plugs and surely have to mind the gap this time. Affects Engine performance  If the gap between the electrodes is not as per the recommendation then it will affect the engine's performance. If the gap is not set right then it might result in incomplete   combustion of the air-fuel mix.  Affects Voltage  The spark plug gap also affects the voltage use on your vehicle. More the gap more is the voltage required to start the spark on the plug. If the gap is too small it may create a very small spark that will be insufficient to start the engine. Affects fuel efficiency  A gap in the spark plug not o...
