You may know some parts of your vehicle, but are you aware of the spark plugs? The spark plugs are the component that starts your vehicle’s engine. They ignite a mixture of air and fuel in your vehicle’s combustion engine in order to start it. Without spark plugs, your engine will not start. With older spark plugs, they may start to show signs of wear by not starting your engine immediately. Occasionally, you will need to replace the spark plugs, which is usually dependent on the type of vehicle and mileage you have.
You may notice the spark plugs going out if your vehicle idles rough or idles unevenly. This is usually caused from a spark plug misfiring. The vehicle may also begin to stall out. This will get more frequent as the spark plug gets worn down more. A noticeable decrease in your vehicle’s power will also indicate that your spark plugs should be inspected soon. As the spark plugs wear out completely, you will lose the ability to turn over your engine to start it. While sometimes an engine not starting can be from a variety of things, such as a poor battery, it is best to bring your vehicle in when you can.
Make sure to bring the vehicle in regularly so we can inspect it and determine when the spark plugs need to be replaced, even if your vehicle is not showing signs of difficult starting or operating. As the spark plugs begin to wear, they start misfiring when you drive. If this goes ignored, it can lead to the engine being damaged or breaking down. Poor spark plugs also have an impact on the decrease of fuel efficiency. Both of these can become a large expense over time. If you ever notice anything out of the norm, make sure to bring the vehicle in so we can inspect it for you.
