How Often Should You Change Your Jaguar F-PACE Spark Plugs?
The spark plug is an important part of a car’s ignition system. (only found in spark-ignition ICEs)
It was developed by Etienne Lenoir in 1860.
It generates electric sparks to ignite the compressed air-fuel mixture.
You can find it attached to the cylinder head of your car engine.
Timely spark generation is detrimental for a smooth engine operation.
How long do spark plugs last?
The average lifespan of a spark plug is about 2030,000 miles or 2 to 3 years. However, it can wear out prematurely.
What causes spark plugs to fail prematurely?
Listed below are a few reasons why spark plugs can fail prematurely:Carbon soot build-up at the tip Exposure of oil and other contaminants Frequent engine overheating Incorrect installation Improper spark plug gap Flaws in the electric system
