WHAT IS A SPARK PLUG?
The spark plug is the device used in the engine combustion chamber to ignite the compressed fuel/air mixture with an electric spark. The spark plug is built with a metal threaded shell that screws into a cylinder head. At the center of the plug is an electrode isolated from the exterior by a porcelain insulator. The top of the spark plug is usually connected to an ignition lead or ignition coil, linked to a sparking electrode with an internal resistor.
