A spark plug (sometimes, in British English, a sparking plug[1], and, colloquially, a plug) is a device for delivering electric current from an ignition system to the combustion chamber of a spark-ignition engine to ignite the compressed fuel/air mixture by an electric spark, while containing combustion pressure within the engine.[2][3] A spark plug has a metal threaded shell, electrically isolated from a central electrode by a ceramic insulator.[4]
