About Spark Plugs
If you know a two thing about how cars work, you've heard of the ' spark plug. ' The name, depending on how you look at it, sounds exciting and dangerous. Now, the spark plus is an integral part of your engine. In the simplest terms, a spark plug in your vehicle engine is essentially a starting point for the combustion. The spark plug ignites the compressed fuel / air mixture through an electric spark, thus maintaining engine combustion pressure. It allows it to transmit electrical current from the ignition system to your spark-ignition engine's combustion chamber. The spark plug is made of a metal threaded shell, which is electrically insulated by a porcelain insulator from a central electrode. All of these components are such that they help to perform their job in the spark plug but at the same time to keep the car safe.

Spark plugs are versatile, in that they can be used for Saab direct ignition when the engine is not able to fire, they can also be used to measure ionization in cylinders, they can also be used as furnaces where in a combustible fuel/air mixture has to be ignited.
How It Works?
By now, you've known what a spark plug is but knowing how it functions will help you appreciate its purpose. Beginning from basic, the spark plug is an electrical device and is located in the head of the cylinder of the engines of few combustions. The primary task is to ignite an electric spark to the compressed aerosol fuel. The spark plugs are made of certain components which allow them to perform their work in a safe way. We have an insulated centre electrode; this is attached to a heavily insulated wire that attaches either externally to an ignition coil or magneto circuit. That forms the grounded terminal at the spark plug foundation. Inside the cylinder there is a void in flame. There are generally two types of internal combustion engines; spark-ignition engines (require spark plugs to start combustion) and compression-ignition engines / diesel engines (compress air and then inject diesel fuel into the hot compressed air mixture/, thus auto igniting). The latter may also be using glow plugs to boost the vehicle's cold start functionality.
