If there is water in the spark plug hole, the spark plug should be replaced. The main types of spark plugs include: standard spark plugs, extended insulator spark plugs, electrode spark plugs, seat-type spark plugs, pole-type spark plugs, and surface-gap spark plugs. Spark plugs are installed on the side or top of the engine. In earlier models, spark plugs were connected to the distributor via ignition cables. However, in the past decade, most car engines have been updated to feature direct connections between the ignition coil and the spark plug. Steps to replace a spark plug: Open the hood, lift the engine's plastic cover, and remove the high-voltage ignition wires. Mark each cylinder's position 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 the area is thoroughly cleaned. 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 high-voltage ignition wires in the correct firing order, then secure the cover.

What to Do If You Want to Practice Driving but Don't Have a Car?

The ideal situation is to ask a friend or relative who owns a car for help, borrowing their car to practice on weekends or holidays. If you're shy or don't want to owe anyone a favor, another option is to rent a car yourself. Generally, renting from a professional car rental company is the cheapest. Besides renting a car, another method is to hire a driving instructor. Instructors usually bring their own cars, which often come with a secondary brake similar to those in driving school vehicles.

Can replacing cracked or damaged tires prevent blowouts?

Replacing cracked or damaged tires can prevent blowouts. The main causes of tire blowouts are: 1. Low tire pressure: This leads to excessive contact between the tire sidewall and the road surface, causing the sidewall to wear and overheat. As tire temperature rises rapidly, the sidewall may eventually burst when worn beyond a certain point. 2. Overused tires: Generally, 5-6 years is the maximum lifespan for tires. Beyond this period, severe aging occurs with numerous cracks developing, making blowouts more likely. 3. Structural damage to tires: Issues like bulges or deformations indicate internal structural failure, which can result in blowouts.

How Does Insurance Cover Water-Damaged Cars in Rain?

If the vehicle is stationary and gets submerged, meaning the damage occurs while parked, the insurance company will provide full compensation. If the vehicle is submerged while in motion, full compensation is also provided. However, if there is only collision coverage without specific water damage coverage, the engine damage will not be compensated. But if the vehicle is submerged while driving and the engine is restarted after stalling, the insurance company will not provide compensation.
