Changed Spark Plugs Today

[TUFF_350]

Are spark plugs just used for initial startup? Or do they serve another purpose also?

Nah man i was serious,

i thought it only ever served another purpose in turbo cars cos they provide spark along with the coil packs to provide boost etc.

i think you need to do a bit of research on how engines work.

For when you use your head lamps also, so if you do a lot of night driving they're going to need to be replaced more often.

Dont listen to him ^^ Thats not true!

Spark Plugs are used for engine braking, you know when you take your foot off the accelerator the car slows down, thats because the spark plugs shoot flames and sparks at the pistons causing them to slow down, which makes the engine turn slower.

They are also used to ignite the seconday fuel source which powers the heater

Dont listen to these guys TUFF-350, the spark plugs are only used for start up and for indicators, they can be used for headlights as the are never on all the time. They turn on and off quickly, like the indicators which is why indicators flash.

Im always happy to help my fellow skyliners.

I got some heat range 6 plugs, since they are hotter they flash faster

I had a chat with my uncle who is working in Nissan as a Mechanic. He reckon try tightening the valve cover, if not the seals have to be change.

As funny as all this plug humour is, just need to know which dealer your uncle works for, so I dont go there. Ever.

Valve cover bolts are not the issue, seals are not replaceable. He really should know that seeing as most newer Nissans run the VQ now. Common design issue with the rocker cover.

Don't forget to change the spark plug in your cigarette lighter every few years either.
