Imagine trying to push a heavy cart up a mountain. Now imagine a trolly bringing that cart up the mountain. It is obvious which option is easier. Your spark plugs ignite the fuel and air mixture in your car to create engine power. This is like having the cart pushed up by the “trolley” instead of you doing the work. As the spark plugs wear out it gets harder for your “trolley” to push the cart up the mountain.
