Description
Spark Plug TLC for Your Old Girl — Powered by BOSCH
> Spark plugs are what give your engine that initial spark to get the fuel burning. Over time, they get tired from all the heat and carbon build-up, especially in those older Jeeps and Chryslers we love to thrash around the backblocks or even just use for the daily cafe lunch run. When they're past it, you'll notice misfires and your engine won't be singing the same tune.
Signs Your Spark Plugs Are Toast
• Engine's misfiring, making it idle rough and hesitate like it's had too much caffeine.
• Fuel economy's gone down the gurgler.
• Hard to start, especially on those frosty mornings.
• Check engine light's on, giving you the evils.
• Feels sluggish when you put your foot down.
Will it pass WOF?
Yep, as long as your engine's purring nicely and not chucking out too many fumes because of dodgy plugs. Misfires are a surefire WOF fail, mate.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 4/10
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours
Tools Required: Spark plug socket, ratchet, extension, torque wrench, spark plug gap tool.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you even think about reaching for that spanner, let's sort out the prep work. Safety first, always! Grab yourself some safety glasses to keep the grit out of your peepers, and a pair of nitrile gloves to keep your hands clean. Spark plugs can get a bit grimy, so these are a must. Remember, safety is always the main thing!
Fitment Notes
Make sure the spark plug gap is spot-on for your engine. Some models use different plugs depending on the engine or year.

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
