Q » How do spark plugs ignite the air-fuel mixture?
17 Oct, 2025
A » Spark plugs ignite the air-fuel mixture in an internal combustion engine by creating a high-voltage electrical spark across a small gap between their two electrodes. This spark occurs at the precise moment when the piston is at or near the top of its compression stroke, ensuring optimal combustion. The intense heat of the spark ignites the air-fuel mixture, generating the power needed to move the vehicle.
