SPARK PLUG TESTING

SPARK PLUG
is a device for delivering electric current
from an ignition system to the
combustion chamber of a spark-ignition
engine to ignite the compressed fuel/air
mixture by an electric spark, while
containing combustion pressure within
the engine.
 TESTER

A tester can determine the quality

of that spark against what it should
ideally produce.
 OHMMETER
is an electrical instrument that
measures electrical resistance.
STANDARD IN ACTIVITY:
• Identifying the steps in testing the spark
plug.
• Steps:
1. The students will be grouped into four (4).
2. The students will arrange the steps in spark
plug testing.
3. The given time for this activity is 5 minutes.
4. Each member of the group should participate.
 ACTIVITY
OBJECTIVE: To arrange the correct
procedures in testing a spark plug.
INSTRUCTIONS: Arrange the given
procedures correctly.
Write your names in a ¼ sheet of pad paper
Choose a leader, secretary and 2 reporters.
You will be given 5 minutes to do your activity.

• Spark plugs play a major role in starting
your vehicle.
• Spark plugs are absolutely crucial.

• without the tiny spark plugs, your car
would be utterly useless.
• Maintaining them is very important
How will you test
a spark plug?
 Procedures
on how to test the
resistance of a
spark plug.
 PROCEDURES:
1. Set your multi tester to “OHMS”
position.
2. Touch the test leads together. The
meter should read zero ohms.
3. Touch one-meter lead to the terminal
of the spark plug and the other lead to
engine ground.
PROCEDURES:
4. Press the points of the meter leads
firmly to the metal to ensure a good
connection.
5. If the meter reading is anything
other than what you saw in step 4
range to 5000 Ohms.
