A spark plug wire is the cable that sends a big electric spark to the engine’s spark plugs, which helps the car start and run.
A spark plug wire is a high‑voltage cable that carries the electrical charge from the ignition system to each spark plug in an engine. It’s essential for starting and running a gasoline engine.
