TVR Griffith & Chimaera Spark Plug Replacement: Get That Spark Back!
> Spark plugs are the unsung heroes in your TVR Griffith or Chimaera's engine, delivering that crucial zap to ignite the fuel. Over time, they can get a bit tired, leading to misfires and a drop in performance – something you'll definitely notice in a spirited TVR like yours.
Signs It's Time for a Change
• Engine's misfiring, especially when you put your foot down.
• Idling's rough as guts or it's stalling.
• Fuel economy's gone down the drain.
• Engine's struggling to start.
• That pesky check engine light's on.
Will it pass WOF?
Might be touch-and-go, mate. If the engine's running rough or pumping out too many emissions because of dodgy spark plugs, it'll likely fail. Misfires are a definite no-no.
DIY or Workshop?
