In 2007 my husband gave me a car the day of our anniversary and months before I was taking classes to learn to drive, and I remember clearly the recommendations he told me: you must learn everything about the car and you must get involved in the mechanics because when you happen to you some mishap you are prepared and can solve, so over the years I was learning everything I could, change tires, oil change and to detect any engine failure and to know how to differentiate these failures.
Since a few days ago the car has been presenting a failure, it is hard to start and it turns off, but with the daily grind and the lack of time, since I work 2 shifts, I get home very tired and in the morning I leave very early, I have not had the time to check it and realize what was happening.
When I was about to go to my mother's house to visit her the car got worse, while I was on the way it turned off 3 times, when I arrived it turned off and did not want to turn on anymore, with the help of some neighbors I managed to take it to the yard of my mother's house. I opened the hood and happened to check it and I remembered that I had time without cleaning the spark plugs and he gets with that failure when I do not clean the spark plugs, that the advantage of knowing the tricks to your car, I was sure it was not the bike because last year I sent it to do, carburetor either and lack of gasoline less.the cause of the failure were the spark plugs: so I got down to work to clean them.the advantage of knowing how to do maintenance to your car is something that will help you a lot when you have a mishap like this.
Thank God I got used to being an independent woman because my husband has always worked out of town and I can never count on him except when he is at home which is almost never, so it's good to know everything, although I am a nurse by profession, I also know about mechanics, blacksmithing, plumbing and even masonry.
I share with you how I cleaned the spark plugs, I know I am not the best, but I try to do the best I can and every day I learn something new.

These are the implements I used:
Wire Brush
Gasoline to clean the spark plugs
calibration
spark plug puller
STEPS FOR SPARK PLUG CLEANING;
Carefully remove the spark plug wire or ignition coil.
Carefully remove the spark plug wire or ignition coil.
Loosen the spark plug and clean all around the spark plug with the wire brush.
Remove the spark plug and soak it in gasoline.
Clean the spark plug using gasoline
Then clean it with a rag
After they have been cleaned, they are fitted and assembled.
Then I start the car to test if they are working properly and the fault is gone.
