Yes, a bad spark plug can cause engine knock. Engine knock, also known as detonation or ping, occurs when fuel in an engine's cylinder ignites prematurely or unevenly, creating a knocking noise. Spark plugs play a crucial role in the ignition system by igniting the air/fuel mixture at precisely the right moment. If a spark plug is failing or fouled, it may not ignite the fuel efficiently, leading to incomplete combustion. This can cause the air/fuel mixture to ignite at the wrong time, resulting in engine knock. Moreover, a bad spark plug can lead to increased fuel consumption, reduced power, and even engine damage over time if not addressed. Therefore, maintaining spark plugs in good condition is vital for the engine's performance and longevity.

An engine can explode because a bad spark plug is unable to ignite correctly or at the right time due to wear. dirt. or damage. This prevents the correct mixture to ignite in the engine cylinders. Engine explosions can result from this irregular combustion. also known as early ignition or detonation.
