Cadillac DTS Spark Plug
The power of Cadillac DTS vehicles relies mainly on the Spark Plug that ignites the air-fuel mixture required for the engine combustion. It works by contributing a high voltage electrical energy from the ignition system it produce a spark that lead to the burning of the mixture hence contributing to the formation of the combustion pressure that pushes the piston. Cadillac DTS models have used many types of Spark Plugs include copper/nickel, platinum, double platinum and Iridium plugs depending on ignition systems and performances. Most of the differences that we can observe between these Spark Plugs are related to the material they are made of and their resistance. Copper/nickel plugs are generally employed in older ignition systems because these have lower operating temperature, on the other hand, platinum and iridium plugs are longer lasting and provide improved performance at higher temperatures. These are the double platinum plugs which are suitable for Distributor-less Ignition Systems (DIS) to give long service and high performance.
Each OEM Cadillac DTS Spark Plug we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
Cadillac DTS Spark Plug Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: What are the steps and tools necessary for replacing spark plugs on Cadillac DTS?A: All vehicles starting from 2000 use transversely installed engines with spark plugs placed at both engine compartment sides. The replacement tools for spark plugs comprise of a spark plug socket which connects to a ratchet along with various length extensions as well as a gap gauge used to verify and modify the spacing of new spark plugs. Special plug wire removal tools should be used because spark plug wire boots fit tightly on the model. Efficient spark plug change requires engine temperature to reach room temperature before commencing work. The replacement of spark plugs requires buying new ones ahead of time and adjusting their gaps to specifications before single-replacing them while ensuring they match the correct plug type found either in specifications or under the Emission Control Information label on the hood. First check that the engine temperature is at room temperature and then inspect the new plugs for faults while adjusting their gaps. The electrodes on platinum and iridium spark plugs enter service pregapped while professionals should handle these components with care to prevent electrode coat damage. An appropriate thickness gauge is used to assess the gap before employing minor bending of the side electrode when necessary adjustment occurs. You should employ compressed air to clean debris from the spark plug hole after taking out all ignition coil assemblies and spark plug boots. The challenging location of spark plugs requires a spark plug socket together with an extension which enables their easy removal. Check the engine condition with a chart before applying anti-seize compound to new plug threads. Insert the new plug into the hole until manual turning becomes impossible before using the torque wrench or ratchet to tighten it while employing rubber hose as a cross-threading prevention tool. Finish by mounting the spark plug boot and follow exactly the same procedure with each other spark plug before returning the ignition coil assemblies.
