Hi, Had the spark plugs out my old renault. Later on I went to take off the front wheels, while the car was in gear, and turned the engine. Can I just put my new spark plugs in and everything will be fine? Or do I need to adjust anything.
If you do this with a new car that's fitted with electronic ignition you can do damage to the ignition module. The lack of a ~1mm spark gap to earth means the voltage has to build to very high levels before it can jump or track to earth. This creates a high back EMF in the coil which can blow the electronic module's output transistor. If it tracks the path it makes is a weakness from then on.
