Supply the spark that ignites the air-fuel mixture in every cylinder with the SKP spark plug, part number SP1042, an iridium spark plug built with an iridium core and a platinum tip. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1968-1988 Toyota Corolla, the 1986-1989 Honda Accord (L4-2.0L) and the 1983-1986 Toyota Camry (L4-2.0L). It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
A spark plug carries high-voltage current from the ignition system across its gap. The resulting spark lights the compressed air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. Over time, electrode wear and deposits can weaken that spark. Signs a plug may need replacing include engine misfires, rough idle, hard starting, hesitation on acceleration and lower fuel economy. These symptoms can also come from other ignition or fuel problems, so diagnose the cause first. If a worn plug is the cause, the SP1042 replaces it.
