all automotive plugs are electronic ignition now,unless you have a 73 or older with points.
newer plugs have a wider gap than older plugs.and last longer.
Platinum spark plugs, 100K. Standard spark plugs, 50K.
An electronic ignition tells the spark plugs when to fire to ignite the fuel. In older cars this was done mechanically by means of a distributor and rotor button.
spark plugs for vehicles with electronic ignition come pre gapped when purchased .044
No, spark plugs do not cause ignition in diesels. The fuel compression causes ignition
The 1974 Camaro Z28 with electronic ignition typically came equipped with AC Delco R43TS spark plugs. These plugs are designed to work effectively with the vehicle's 350 cubic inch V8 engine and electronic ignition system, ensuring optimal performance. Always refer to the owner's manual or a trusted automotive source for specific recommendations based on your engine's configuration.
Actually , with the electronic ignition there are no points , and the scheduled maintainence guide shows to change the spark plugs at ( 100,000 miles )
I don't think your car has a distributor cap. I believe it has an electronic ignition and only has an ignition coil to deliver spark to the plugs. Where this is located, I do not know.
there are several reasons this could happen.distribator cap and wires spark plugs may need to be replaced.there could be oil getting thru and on some of them. if your car doesn't have an electronic ignition the cylinoid could be bad.
Resistor spark plugs are designed with a built-in resistor that helps reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) produced during the ignition process. This interference can affect the operation of sensitive electronic components in modern vehicles. By using resistor spark plugs, vehicle manufacturers aim to ensure smoother engine performance and protect electronic systems from potential disruptions. Additionally, these spark plugs can help improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.
To change the spark plugs on a 1996 Oldsmobile Aurora, first, disconnect the battery to ensure safety. Remove the engine cover if necessary, then locate the spark plugs, which are typically beneath the ignition coils. Unscrew the ignition coils, carefully pull them out, and then use a spark plug socket to remove the old spark plugs. Install the new spark plugs, ensuring they are properly gapped, reattach the ignition coils, and reconnect the battery.
You might not have the correct spark plugs. Most spark plugs have a resistor included in them to prevent radio interference. Check the numbers on the plug with an auto parts store and see if your plugs are the resistor type. If not, switch them out. You might also have a problem with the electronic ignition, so if changing the plugs does not help, take the vehicle to a garage and have the ignition system checked out.
a diesel engine uses compression and has no need of spark plugs
