Where is the spark plug located in the Pajero?

[DeAdaline]

The spark plug in the Pajero is located on the engine cylinder head. The Pajero is an off-road vehicle produced by Mitsubishi Motors Corporation. The current models include: the Pajero prototype off-road vehicle V series, the SUV sports car series Pajero SPORT, the compact SUV sports leisure car series Pajero iO, and the mini SUV sports leisure car series Pajero MINI. Taking the Pajero SPORT off-road vehicle as an example: the exterior dimensions are 4900mm in length, 1875mm in width, 1900mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2780mm. The Pajero SPORT inherits the characteristics of the Pajero V series, focusing on driving performance and versatility.

I've been driving a Pajero for many years, and the spark plugs are located in the engine bay, specifically on the top of the cylinder head, with one spark plug hole per cylinder. Open the hood, and you'll see the ignition coil modules connected to the wiring—those coils directly cover the spark plugs. The position is quite noticeable, but be careful when working on them—first disconnect the battery power, use a spark plug wrench to remove the coils, then unscrew the old spark plugs and replace them with new ones. The design places them near the front for easy maintenance, but in different engines like the V6, the spark plugs are distributed across multiple points, so don’t mix up the holes. When replacing, torque must be precise—too loose and it may cause gas leaks or misfires, too tight and it can damage the threads. Also, regularly check for oil leaks or carbon buildup in the area, as these can affect ignition efficiency. Keep it clean to prevent debris from falling in—engine performance relies on proper maintenance. Once you get used to the location, it’s simple, but beginners should follow a tutorial diagram for guidance.

When I first got my hands on the Pajero, I was curious about where the spark plugs were and spent a long time searching. A friend reminded me they're located at the top of the engine bay. After opening the hood, those black wire-connected covers on the engine surface are the ignition coils, each corresponding to a spark plug hole, positioned towards the front of the cylinder head and covered by the coil module. Before starting, I disconnected the battery to avoid electric shock. Using simple tools to pull out the coils reveals the spark plug holes—not too hard to find but requires a steady hand. During replacement, it's crucial to choose the correct spark plug model and avoid twisting them incorrectly to prevent engine damage. The location is near the air filter, so care must be taken to prevent dust from entering the holes and affecting ignition. I believe their position is vital for smooth engine starts, and regular replacement can save fuel and boost performance. With more practice, it becomes easier, but safety always comes first—don't force it.

I enjoy DIY car repairs, and the Mitsubishi Pajero's spark plug location is easy to find—it's on the cylinder head at the top of the engine in the engine bay, with the ignition coil directly plugged into it. The design is quite reasonable; just open the hood and remove the coil clips. However, note that older models have deeper placements while newer ones are more visible. Use a dedicated spark plug wrench to loosen and remove them. Avoid touching nearby wires to prevent short circuits, check if the sealing ring is aged, and keep the hole clean to prevent debris. Proper maintenance of this critical location can prevent ignition failures. Ensure you have all the necessary tools and handle them gently—it becomes simple once you're familiar.

The spark plug positions vary slightly across different generations of the Pajero. For example, in the second-generation engine, the spark plugs are evenly distributed on the cylinder head and positioned more centrally. After optimization in the third-generation engine, their location was moved further forward for easier maintenance. In the engine compartment, after opening the cover, the spark plugs are accessed via the ignition coil interface at the top of the cylinder head. These positional changes affect maintenance difficulty. When performing operations, it's essential to select spark plugs corresponding to the vehicle model, as incorrect models with mismatched positions can lead to ignition failure. Keep the area clean to prevent contamination. Having used both older and newer models, I find the positions clearly defined, but regular checks for oil leaks are necessary.
