Spark Plugs :
NFLUENCES TO SPARK PLUG TEMPERATURE :
Following situations can increase spark plug temperature:
- Lean air/fuel mixtures
- Increasing compression
- Forced induction (Supercharging, turbocharging or Nitrous)
- Camshaft change
- Advancing ignition timing
- Higher engine speed
- Higher engine load
- Lower air temperature (more dense air resulting in leaner air/fuel mixture)
- Lower humidity (more dense air resulting in leaner air/fuel mixture)
