NGK Glow Plug for Ford Courier PB PC Econovan Maxi R2 2.2L 4Cyl 1984-2000

NGK Glow Plugs are at the forefront of technological innovations. Our glow plugs maintain optimum starting capabilities and offer an excellent post-glow function, promoting clean combustion and lower toxic emissions. They are manufactured with state of the art techniques with dedication to quality, which leads to outstanding reliability.

Metal sheathed glow plugs consist of a heating coil and regulating coil which are enclosed by a special ceramic powder within the heater tube or ¡®tip.¡¯

Diesel engines, unlike petrol engines which rely on a spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture, function due to the auto-ignition of diesel fuel when subjected to high pressures. Under high pressure, the temperature of the diesel fuel increases to a point where the fuel self-combusts. In cold weather however, this temperature is not always achieved and glow plugs assist by heating the air-fuel mixture to assist in cold starting.

Put simply, glow plugs are small heaters.
