Inspection
NOTE:
Dropped spark plugs should always be discarded.
Unfired
An unfired spark plug should appear very clean
with a pure nickel finish to the threads and ground strap. The center
electrode ceramic insulator surface is often a matte or dull finish and
pure white in color...
This helps to prevent you from locking yourself out of your vehicle if the key
is still in the ignition.
When you open one of the front doors and lock your vehicle with the power door
lock control, all the doors lock then unlock and the horn sounds twice if the key
is still in the ignition...
