Can a Car Start Normally If the Spark Plug is Broken?

[OValentina]

Can a car start normally if the spark plug is broken? However, a damaged spark plug can directly cause issues such as leakage in the vehicle's ignition system, increased fuel consumption, reduced power, and most importantly, difficulty in ignition, affecting the normal operation of the vehicle. Severe erosion of the spark plug, such as scarring at the top, damage, or melting and erosion of the electrodes, indicates that the spark plug is damaged and should be replaced. Steps to replace a spark plug: Open the engine hood, lift the plastic cover of the engine, and remove the high-voltage wires. Mark the position of each cylinder to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for any external debris like leaves or dust and ensure they are cleaned thoroughly. Place the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten it further. Reinstall the removed high-voltage wires in the firing order, and then secure the cover.
