Spark Plug Wires: Engine Power Catalyst

By: Evander Klum

To maximize the potential power of an Acura engine, four things must be considered -- proper amount of fuel, enough air, a good spark, and a free-flowing exhaust. After considering these facets, owners may want to look deeper into their parts to understand the system. For instance, Acura's spark plugs contain Acura Spark Plug Wires that transport electric voltage needed for a spark.

Acura Spark Plug Wires are connected to the distributor -- which multiplies the sparks -- and then transports sparks to the plugs, which in turn, deliver the necessary spark needed for the combustion process. With this function, the prove that they are, collectively, an important complement of Acura's electrical system. It is not surprising that Acura's impeccable attention to detail led to the production of highly dependable parts, as small and as simple as the Acura spark plug wire system.

However, just like any other car parts, Acura Spark Plug Wires are not immune to wearing out and breakage after a certain period of time and considerable mileage. For one, spark plug wires have to endure extreme heat and dangerous chemicals contained in the engine compartment. In time, these dangerous elements would eventually take its toll on the spark plug wires and they could thus lose their ability to transport electricity.

Ideally, the Acura spark plug wires should be replaced yearly and/or during engine tuneup. Doing so saves owners a lot of dollars from having to replace the entire spark plug system when faulty wires lead to the whole system's breakdown. Extra caution should be taken, though, when replacing Acura Spark Plug Wires, since the vehicles have different electrical requirements. Complying to this recommendations ensures dependable Acura engine startup and performance.
