Spark Plug Change-Out Guide — Starring BOSCH
> Spark plugs are the little blighters that light up the fuel in your Honda CR-V or Accord's engine. Over time, they wear down, causing misfires and a drop in oomph, which is a pain, especially with all the stop-start driving around the city.
Spotting Dodgy Spark Plugs
• Engine's misfiring, especially when you put your foot down.
• Idling rough as guts, or even stalling on you.
• Fuel economy's gone down the drain.
• That pesky check engine light's glaring at you.
• Engine's a bugger to start, especially when it's cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.
Will it pass WOF?
Yep, as long as the engine's running sweet and clean. Misfires from knackered spark plugs are a quick way to fail your WOF.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you start pulling things apart, let's make sure you're sorted with the right bits and bobs. Safety first, eh? Grab some safety glasses to keep the grit out of your peepers, and a pair of nitrile gloves to keep your mitts clean. You'll also want to check the spark plug gap with your feeler gauges. A little smear of dielectric grease on the spark plug boots will keep moisture out and ensure a good connection – no more arcing!
