A sparkplug's story

[emongedmund]

Mga bro need help

Ano ba sakit ng sasakyan pag madalas pumalya ang makina?

Pina-overhaul ko na ang carburador
Na-top overhaul na ang engine nung january pero palyado na uli ngayon

Kelangan bang platinum sparkplugs na ang gamitin ko,hinde yung pangkaraniwan lang?

Yung sparkplug malakas at mabilis mag-karbon tulad ng nsa pix.
Carbon Fouling
Ano ba ibig sabihin nito:
1) Over-rich fuel mixture - (mali ba ang gaso na kinakarga ko?)
2) Carburettor mixture settings
3) Float level
4) Choke operation


My mga nag-suggest sakin na ipalinis ko muna ang Gas Tank, Fuel Pump Filter & Air Filter baka daw madumi na at baka sakaling yun ang cause ng pagpalya ng makina dahil sumasama ang mga kalawang o dumi sa pag-akyat ng gasolina.

Bka may iba pa kayong suggestions kung paano maiiwasan ang pagpalya ng makina, paki-post naman po.


Your immediate response would be very much appreciated.

Pwede nyo rin ako iemail sa mga replies nyo -- po1.migs*zipido.com

...given na walang problema ang engine. ano ba lifespan ng sparkplugs? sinasabay ko kasi lagi pagpalit tuwing oil change eh (every 10k). malinis naman lagi itsura nung luma.

I just replaced the spark plugs of my 2002 Nissan Cefiro after more than 5 years and 52,000 Kms. The OEM spark plugs installed are NGK PFR5G-11 (Platinum). The replacement plugs I bought were NGK PFR6G-11 setting me back PHP 450.00 a piece or PHP 2,700 total! The only reason I replaced them was because I felt the engine misfire once or twice during idling this past week. Sinabay ko na ang fuel filter. The mechanic told me that the fuel filter was dirty (5 years old na kasi!). Maybe it was the dirty fuel filter which caused the engine to misfire. Had I replaced the fuel filter first, maybe I would still be using the original spark plugs. Platinum and Iridium spark plugs last a lot longer than regular plugs, but are more expensive. I do not change plugs every time I get an oil change and I don't think you have to especially with cars that are fuel injected and have full electronic ignition. My other ride is a Grandis and it uses Iridium spark plugs. Hopefully the Iridium plugs last longer than the Platinum ones. Platinum/Iridium plugs are supposed to last from 80,000 to 100,000 Kms.

hi sir macho,

i suggest you buy your spark plugs from honda. when i replaced the spark plugs of my dad's accord i noticed that the spark plug no was different from the sparkplug the honda auto supply gave us. i asked them for the exact same spark plug as the original one but they said that pareho lang. but a closer look and you will notice that there is a difference on the length of the electrode.

with the proper sparkplugs and tune up. your plugs will last you more than 30,000km. you may also consider having your valves clearance checked. FYI, valves are adjusted at a certain running temp. best to have the casa do it for you. so far my dads accord has ran 120,000km. and its still running fine.

sakin po gamit ko yung bosch super four 2 years ko ginamit ok naman

Do spark plugs have to be changed periodically (like in x amount of time or in x amount of kilometers?)? Or do you just have to 'feel' kung dapat na palitan?

[eyshmechanic]

ideally dapat talaga periodically palit ng spark plugs pero kung medyo tight budget just check and clean them periodically.
