Where is the car's spark plug located?
1 Answers
The spark plug in a car is generally located inside the engine cylinder. It can be clearly seen after removing the high-voltage ignition coil. Spark plug replacement procedure: Open the hood, lift the engine's plastic cover, remove the high-voltage distributor wires, and mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. When removing them, check for external debris such as leaves or dust and ensure thorough cleaning. Place the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, then use the socket to tighten it further. Reinstall the removed high-voltage distributor wires according to the firing order, then secure the cover. Spark plug replacement interval: Under normal maintenance conditions, replacement is recommended every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it's advisable to follow the owner's manual. Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 km, standard nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 km, and iridium spark plugs between 60,000-80,000 km.
