What to Do If There Is Water in the Spark Plug Hole?
1 Answers
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.
