Description

The spark plug is a device that delivers electric current from the ignition system to the combustion chamber of a spark-ignition engine to ignite the compressed air-fuel mixture by means of an electric spark, while withstanding combustion pressure in the engine. A spark plug has a threaded metal shell electrically insulated from the center electrode by a porcelain insulator.
