What are the precautions for spark plug replacement?
1 Answers
Precautions for spark plug replacement include: When installing spark plugs, a specialized torque wrench should be used to tighten them. If the spark plug is not tightened sufficiently, it may cause cylinder leakage. Conversely, if the spark plug is overtightened, it may lead to breakage. The spark plug is a crucial component of the gasoline engine's ignition system, responsible for introducing high-voltage electricity into the combustion chamber and generating a spark across the electrode gap to ignite the combustible air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. The method for replacing spark plugs is as follows: 1. Wait for the engine to cool completely, open the hood, disconnect the ignition coil connector, then use a socket to remove the ignition coil to access the spark plug; 2. Select a socket based on the size of the spark plug nut and turn it counterclockwise to loosen, then use a magnetic rod to extract the spark plug; 3. Use the magnetic rod to hold the new spark plug and place it into the hole, then follow the reverse steps above for installation.
