Whats a spark plug? []

Mate, thanks for the answer, I know feck all about scoobies (only owned them for 7 years you see),  so your help is very much appreciated [Y]

So does the coil pack generate the "electricity" to spark the spark plug thingy?

Goes on your sparkplug that's all i no

Basically Neil your spark plugs need electricty to spark yes? But 12v from the battery wont do it.

So the coil pack takes the voltage from the battery and steps it up using an induction coil to create thousands of volts from the 12v so that the spark plug has the juice to actually spark.

Goes on your sparkplug .I think subaru went back to using the coil pack on first newage scoobs
