Spark Plug
What is the function of a spark plug in a vehicle?
I know that spark plug is used for ignition purpose while starting a vehicle. I would like to know, whether it also sparks when the vehicle is in motion. If so, HOW?
The spark plug ignites the air/petrol mixture in the cylinder head with a spark. The explosion it causes drives down the piston which is connected to crank shaft which turns as the piston goes down. This happens in sequence in all 4 or 6 cylinders thereby maintaining the crank shaft continually turning. Yes it does spark all the time as the car is kept moving in this way. The crank shaft is connected to the road wheels via a clutch and gear box.
The spark is made by an electric current passing through a coil or some other electrical circuit to increase it’s intensity and by some form of sequencer called a distributor this current is fed to all cylinders in turn.
Hope this helps.
