During its lifetime, an average spark plug might fire 27.5 million to 110 million times. Each time, it vaporizes a few molecules off the spark plug electrodes.

Other engine problems might contaminate the spark plug, and in certain circumstances, it may not fire at all. Call Danny's Under The Hood today for an appointment if you're experiencing any of these signs of spark plug problems.
