SPARK PLUGS

spark plugs are very important for

keeping the engine efficient and pol-

luting emissions down.

The appearance of the spark plug, if

examined by an expert eyes, is a good

it has nothing to do with the ignition

system. Therefore, if the engine has

problems, it is important to have the

spark plugs checked at a Fiat Deal-

ership.
