Maximize your engine’s combustion efficiency by mastering Automotive Spark Plugs and Wires. As the final link in the ignition chain, these components must withstand extreme heat and high voltage to deliver a consistent spark. Our resources cover how to read spark plug colors to diagnose engine health, set the correct spark plug gap, and test ignition wire resistance with a multimeter. Learn the differences between copper, platinum, and iridium plugs, and how to identify the signs of failure—like a rough idle, poor fuel economy, or engine hesitation—to ensure your vehicle starts reliably and runs at peak performance.
