Spark Plug Change-Out: NGK Edition
> Spark plugs: the unsung heroes of your petrol engine. They spark the air and fuel mix, making your engine go *vroom*. But they wear out over time from the heat and electricity, leading to misfires and a rough ride, especially in older motors like the Citroen GS or Suzuki LJ50.
How'd You End Up Here, Mate?
• Engine's misfiring or idling rough as guts?
• Fuel economy's gone down the drain?
• Engine's a pain to start?
• Lost some grunt?
• Check engine light's on (less common in older machines)?
Sweet As for the WOF?
A WOF doesn't directly check your spark plugs, but dodgy ones can cause emissions or misfires, which *will* fail ya. Good plugs mean a happy, compliant engine.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 3/10 (for most engines)
Time Needed: Half an hour to an hour
Gear You'll Need: Spark plug socket wrench, ratchet, spark plug gap tool (if they ain't pre-gapped), torque wrench (good idea).
