  Spark plugs, location Two spark plugs per cylinder are fitted in the cylinder head  
  Spark plugs, task Ignite the compressed fuel-air mixture through sparks between the electrodes according to actuation of the ECI ignition system. Detects the ion current.  
  Spark plugs, design In the manufacturer's specific type symbols, all spark plug features are assigned (e. g. heat rating, shape of seating, thread, width across flats, electrode material, spark position).  
  Spark plugs, function The ignition voltage flows from the directly-inserted ignition coils in the ECI ignition modules (N92/1, N92/2) to the spark plugs and causes arcing in the gap between the central electrode and ground electrode.
