Can You Still Drive with a Faulty Spark Plug?
1 Answers
You can still drive for a short period with a faulty spark plug, but it's not advisable in the long run. A faulty spark plug not only causes unstable ignition but may also lead to failure to start. Additionally, once a spark plug is damaged, it's equivalent to losing one cylinder's operation, resulting in noticeable engine vibration and reduced power. In severe cases, it may even cause electrical leakage. Commonly known as a sparking plug, the spark plug's function is to discharge the high-voltage pulse electricity sent by the high-voltage wire (spark plug wire), breaking down the air between the two electrodes to generate an electric spark, thereby igniting the mixed gas in the cylinder.
