Abstract: A spark plug wherein the occurrence of pre-ignition and misfires in the spark plug are suppressed. The spark plug includes a cover portion, that covers a front end portion of a center electrode and a facing portion of a ground electrode from a front end side of the spark plug to form a pre-chamber space. The cover portion has injection holes that are through-holes. A metal shell volume A (mm3) of a portion of the metal shell on the front side with respect to a rear end of the pre-chamber space and a thermal conductivity B (W/mK) of the metal shell at the normal temperature satisfy a formula (1): 3.6

Abstract: A spark plug wherein both pre-ignition and misfires are suppressed. The spark plug includes a center electrode; a ground electrode; a cylindrical insulator; a metal shell that accommodates the insulator therein; and a cover portion that covers a front end portion of the center electrode and a facing portion of the ground electrode to form a pre-chamber. The insulator includes an outer peripheral surface exposed to the pre-chamber, the cover portion includes a portion exposed to the pre-chamber, and the metal shell includes a portion exposed to the pre-chamber. When a surface area of the outer peripheral surface is a first surface area A (mm2), and a total surface area of the portion of the cover portion and the portion of the metal shell is a second surface area B (mm2), the spark plug satisfies a relational expression 1:0.10
