Ram 1500 Spark Plugs

Spark plugs are actually insulated plugs mounted on the cylinder head. The job of the spark plugs is to deliver the spark that is necessary to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. Apart from this, spark plugs also carry away the heat from the combustion chamber. As a rule, each engine cylinder has one spark plug, with the only exception of HEMI engines that have two plugs per each cylinder. Faulty spark plugs usually cause vehicle starting troubles and rough idle. Besides, you can experience engine misfires, high fuel consumption, lack of acceleration, and surging, as the engine of your Ram 1500 constantly attempts to ignite the air/fuel mixture and can't do that properly.

A check engine light may be the first symptom of spark plug malfunction; driving with faulty spark plugs can cause a higher amount of unburned fuel in the exhaust, which can put a strain on the catalytic converter. Spark plugs require proper maintenance that includes regular cleaning and changing. They live in high-temperature, high-pressure environments and are exposed to aggressive chemicals such as gasoline and carbon and so should be changed at regular intervals.
