SlashesSpark Plug Requirements

As the main source of power in any petrol engine, a spark plug performs an essential function: It is responsible for igniting the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber of petrol engines. This combustion process creates power, ultimately setting the vehicle in motion. To make sure the combustion process runs smoothly, the spark delivered by the spark plug must ignite just before the piston reaches its highest point and the compression is at its greatest.

This video explains the electrode wear of spark plugs, especialy the difference between single spark and wasted (double) spark systems. It shows in detail why in double spark ignition systems, spark plug electrode wear is different on some cylinders.

The glamorous world of motorsports is a magnet for companies looking to boost their brand profile. In the case of ignition and sensor leader NGK SPARK PLUG – whose global technical partners include Formula 1’s Scuderia Ferrari, leading MotoGP teams, Citroën Total and M-Sport Ford in the World Rally Championship – racing means much more: it’s where innovations are born.
