Replacing the spark for a general description of the car
For many motorists service the machine - it's a big problem. How could handle himself, for example, replacing candles? Let's examine this process by the example of car Toyota. The causes leading to the output of a candle out of action, may be different. For example, the formation of carbon deposits on the surface of the cone insulator itself candles. Or the formation of the electrode conductivity plot of fuel particles, dust, oil residue, which leads to short-circuiting the electrodes. Sometimes it just increases the gap due to electroerosive wear surface of the electrodes. Possible cause could be a mechanical failure insulator, electrodes, body candle or candles violation airtight connections. Before replacement, the candles can turn out and carefully inspect. Identifying causes of failure will help in future to avoid similar situations. Insulator properly functioning spark a light brown or grayish tint. If, however, candles are replaced, perform the following steps. In order to replace the candles, make sure that the engine of the car cooled down, and the ignition is turned off. The first thing to undoing the candle with a high-voltage wire. Removed it by pulling and simultaneous Curling. This is followed by gently remove the dirt accumulated in the spark plug recess. By the way, to work with candles to use a special key, the head of which would weaken the thread of candles, without damaging the insulator. When the thread is weakened, it is safe to turn out the candle completely. Before installing a new spark sure to check it for defects. Then measure the spark gap with a special wire probe, but if there is none, you can use a simple flat. It must fit, without any effort to pass between the central and lateral electrodes. Now you can insert a new candle in place. Please note that threads from the first time entered correctly, otherwise, it can be damaged. Next, wrap the candle all the way without the aid of special devices, with his hands. Then, using a torque wrench, tighten the spark plug to the end. The most comprehensive guide to repairing the WHA with photos and comments you can buy in the Internet book store on cars.
