The Champion Spark Plug is built for engines needing stable ignition behavior across wide temperature shifts and varied load transitions. Its 14 mm configuration and nickel-copper electrodes create consistent spark energy delivery, while the fine-wire center and ground electrodes concentrate voltage at the point of ignition for quicker combustion onset. The patented rib-core nose design promotes cleaner plug operation over time, and EZ Start technology uses a booster gap to deliver maximum voltage exactly where the arc must form. This design also contributes to reduced misfire risk and stronger cold-start performance. Heat Range 8 construction helps the plug manage thermal buildup during extended running, keeping fouling to a minimum even in stop-and-go environments. The Champion 5843 supplies controlled ignition for engines requiring sharp spark response.
