What does it mean when a spark plug does not fire?
A spark plug that does not fire, resulting from a narrow gap, will appear black or wet when inspected. The black or wet appearance indicates unburned fuel. Excessive spark plug gap results when the voltage has too far to travel.
What kind of spark plug do I need for Ford EcoBoost?
For the Ford Ecoboost 3.5l engine you will need a 5/8″ spark plug socket. You can likely use a 16mm deep socket as well and then use a magnetic tool or the boot of the ignition coil to remove the plug from down in the spark plug hole.
Why are spark plugs so hard to fire?
Used spark plugs are hard to fire as the gaps are worn out, and insulation properties of the ceramic is compromised by solid combustion deposits and old fuel saturation. This robs available voltage at the spark plug gap, as it “leaks” through the low resistance carbon deposits to the ground, resulting in a weak spark.
