Abstract: A spark plug having an integral gasoline combustion sensor is disclosed. The spark plug includes a center electrode assembly with a terminal stud at one end and a center electrode with a sparking surface at an opposite end; a generally tubular insulator surrounding the center electrode assembly; a shell surrounding the insulator and having along its length a turn-over on a first end, a barrel having an outer surface and barrel shoulder on a gasket flange thereof, a threaded portion, and a ground electrode; and a piezo sensor assembly located on the barrel shoulder proximate the outer surface of the barrel which includes a lower electrode contact, a piezo transducer, an upper electrode contact, an isolator having a convex upper surface, and an upper bushing which is attached to the barrel.
