Spark Plug Tester
A tool that checks spark plug condition and ignition strength.

A spark plug tester helps determine if a spark plug is firing correctly under pressure. It visually displays spark consistency and color, indicating combustion quality. Weak or intermittent sparks suggest fouling or coil issues. Testing each plug ensures balanced ignition and optimal fuel efficiency. In modern workshops, spark testers can simulate compression pressure for realistic evaluation. Routine spark testing prevents engine misfire, rough running, and power loss.
