Q
can bad spark plugs cause engine knock
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Yes, bad spark plugs can indirectly lead to engine knocking. Often, spark plugs are crucial for proper engine combustion. When they're worn or faulty, they can cause incomplete or improper combustion of the fuel-air mixture. This misfiring can lead to pre-detonation or "knocking" where the fuel ignites prematurely under high pressure before the optimal point in the combustion cycle. This not only affects engine performance but can also cause damage over time. Good maintenance practices, including regular inspection and replacement of spark plugs, are recommended to avoid such issues and ensure smooth engine operation. Always consult your vehicle's manual or a professional mechanic for the best advice tailored to your specific engine type and condition.
