2. Spark plug - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark_plug

   Spark plug with single side electrode An electric spark on the spark plug. A spark plug (sometimes, in British English, a sparking plug, [1] and, colloquially, a plug) is a device for delivering electric current from an ignition system to the combustion chamber of a spark-ignition engine to ignite the compressed fuel/air mixture by an electric spark, while containing combustion pressure within ...

3. Check engine light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_engine_light

   A check engine light or malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), is a tell-tale that a computerized engine-management system used to indicate a malfunction or problem with the vehicle ranging from minor (such as a loose gas cap) to serious (worn spark plugs, engine problems or a faulty oil valve, etc.).

4. Dieseling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieseling

   Dieseling or engine run-on is a condition that can occur in spark-plug-ignited, gasoline-powered internal combustion engines, whereby the engine keeps running for a short period after being turned off, drawing fuel through the carburetor, into the engine and igniting it without a spark.

5. Delco ignition system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delco_ignition_system

   A fourth problem can arise when one or more of an engine's spark plugs becomes "fouled." Fouling, caused by combustion-byproducts that form deposits on a spark plug's internal insulator, creates an electrically conductive path that dissipates the coil's energy before its secondary voltage can rise high enough to produce a spark.

7. Wasted spark system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasted_spark_system

   A wasted spark system is a type of ignition system used in some four-stroke cycle internal combustion engines. In a wasted spark system, the spark plugs fire in pairs, with one plug in a cylinder on its compression stroke and the other plug in a cylinder on its exhaust stroke. The extra spark during the exhaust stroke has no effect and is thus ...

8. Talk:Spark plug - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Spark_plug

   Spark plugs für motorcars were invented by German company Bosch. Inventor by Bosch was German engineer Gottlob Honold 188.96.181.140 22:02, 7 May 2013 (UTC) "Spark plugs for motorcars" isn't a notable invention. "Spark plug" is, but they (and their use in stationary engines) pre-dates cars.

9. Pre-ignition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-ignition

   Carbon deposits form a heat barrier and can be a contributing factor to pre-ignition. Other causes include: An overheated spark plug (too hot a heat range for the application). Glowing carbon deposits on a hot exhaust valve (which may mean the valve is running too hot because of poor seating, a weak valve spring or insufficient valve lash)
