ఇన్స్టాలేషన్ దశలు (సాధారణం)
- Carefully remove the spark plug wires or coil packs from the old spark plugs.
- Use a spark plug socket to loosen and remove the old spark plugs.
- Inspect the new spark plugs for any damage. Do not attempt to adjust the gap on platinum or iridium spark plugs unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer. These plugs are typically pre-gapped.

ఫంక్షన్ మరియు ఆపరేషన్
Spark plugs are critical components of a gasoline engine's ignition system. Their primary function is to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. When high voltage is applied to the spark plug's central electrode, it creates a spark that jumps across a small gap to the ground electrode, initiating combustion.
- జ్వలన: The spark ignites the compressed air-fuel mixture, driving the piston downwards.
- ఉష్ణ బదిలీ: Spark plugs also help transfer heat away from the combustion chamber to the engine's cooling system.
- ఇంజిన్ పనితీరు: Properly functioning spark plugs ensure efficient combustion, leading to optimal engine power, fuel economy, and reduced emissions.

నిర్వహణ
Regular inspection and timely replacement of spark plugs are essential for maintaining engine health and performance. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for recommended service intervals.
తనిఖీ
- దృశ్య తనిఖీ: Periodically inspect spark plugs for signs of wear, such as excessive electrode erosion, carbon fouling, oil fouling, or blistering.
- Color of Tip: A healthy spark plug tip should have a light tan or grayish-white color. Black, oily, or white deposits can indicate engine issues.
- గ్యాప్ చెక్: While these plugs are pre-gapped, extreme conditions or mishandling could affect the gap. If checking, use a wire-type feeler gauge.
ప్రత్యామ్నాయం
Spark plugs wear out over time, leading to reduced fuel efficiency, misfires, and decreased engine power. Replace spark plugs according to your vehicle manufacturer's recommended schedule, typically every 30,000 to 100,000 miles depending on the plug type and engine.
సాధారణ సమస్యలను పరిష్కరించడం
If you experience any of the following symptoms, your spark plugs may require inspection or replacement:
- ఇంజిన్ మిస్ఫైర్లు లేదా రఫ్ ఐడ్లింగ్: A common sign of a failing spark plug or incorrect gap.
- తగ్గిన ఇంధన ఆర్థిక వ్యవస్థ: స్పార్క్ ప్లగ్లు అరిగిపోవడం వల్ల అసమర్థమైన దహనం ఇంధన వినియోగాన్ని పెంచుతుంది.
- Difficulty Starting the Engine: Weak or inconsistent spark can make starting difficult.
- త్వరణం లేదా శక్తి లేకపోవడం: Worn spark plugs can hinder the engine's ability to produce full power.
- ఇంజిన్ లైట్ తనిఖీ చేయండి: Modern vehicles may trigger a check engine light for misfire codes related to spark plugs.
If you encounter these issues, it is advisable to have your vehicle inspected by a professional mechanic.
