Spark Plug Change-Out Guide — Starring NGK
> Spark plugs are what give your engine that essential zap to ignite the fuel and air. Over time, they get worn down by heat and gunk, causing misfires, less power, and drinking too much gas. Especially in a tuned-up machine like your Mitsubishi Lancer EVO.
Signs You've Landed Here
• Engine's misfiring, especially when you put your foot down
• Idling like it's got the hiccups
• Fuel economy's gone down the drain
• Hard to get the engine started
• That pesky check engine light's on
