How do I know if my spark plugs need replacing?
If the engine is making a pinging, rattling or knock-like noise, or if there is a strong vibration, the spark plugs and/or the spark plug wires could be to blame. 6. Engine Misfires Replace the plugs more frequently if there’s oil on the plug’s tip when removed from the engine.
What do you need to know about sparkvue?
The basics you’d expect (such as digits, meter, graph, and table) are all included, but you will also find FFT, bar graphs, map display, embedded assessment questions, video playback, image capture and analysis, as well as space for text and images. The labs you can build are only limited by your time and creativity.
How often should I change the spark plug on my bike?
Let’s say it takes you half an hour to get to work, and your engine averages 5000rpm. On a four-stroke motor, the plug is likely igniting once every other stroke; so 2500 bangs per minute. That’s 75,000 detonations just to get you to the office. By the time you get home at night, your little spark plug will have endured 150,000 explosions.

Are there still spark plugs in newer cars?
Some later models have an ignition system without a distributor, but they still have traditional spark plug wires. Depending on automaker, those harnesses started to disappear in the late 1990s/early 2000s. Newer vehicles have a coil-on-plug ignition system that eliminates electrical problems caused by worn-out spark plug wires.
When to replace the plugs in your car?
This is our recommendation, separate from any stated mileage interval from the vehicle manufacturer. If your vehicle owner manual recommends replacement at 30,000 or 60,000 miles, inspect the condition of the plugs when you reach about two-thirds of that mileage. If longer service intervals of 100,000 or more miles are recommended]
Where does the spark plug go in an engine?
The opposite end of the spark plug has two exposed electrodes that are located inside the cylinder. The electrical current from the ignition system travels to the plug’s center electrode. A high voltage spark jumps a small gap to reach the second electrode. That spark ignites the fuel-air mixture inside the engine cylinder.
