Gene Messer Kia welcomes you to discover what the indicators of defective spark plug wires are.
Perhaps the most apparent sign of faulty spark plugs is your vehicle just seems a little ‘off.’ It may start slowly with reduced fuel economy but could progress all the way to a lack of acceleration. Faulty spark plug wires or spark plug misfires will also cause problems starting your engine, a rough idle once started, and loss of power. What starts as a minor annoyance could develop into a safety issue. Regardless if you are currently experiencing issues or simply want to replace them before they happen, let us take a look. Our experienced technicians will inspect your vehicle and provide you with options for the best outcome to keep you on the road.
What Are Spark Plugs?
The spark plug is a component that delivers electricity to ignite the fuel and air mixture in the standard internal combustion engine. Without spark plugs, a gasoline engine can’t run or start. To ensure the engine runs at its absolute best, we use the right spark plug gap. A gapping tool makes a precise measurement (usually between .020 and .040 of an inch) to ensure the spark plug gap is correct. This is only applicable to gasoline engines because there is no such thing as diesel engine spark plugs. Diesels have a separate system that has glow plugs in place of spark plugs.
Benefits of Replacing Spark Plugs
The greatest benefit of changing your spark plugs is that your vehicle will likely run more efficiently, provide improved gas mileage, and may reduce the pollution from your vehicle. It’s a very reasonable expense to change your spark plugs, as well. While everyone has a view on which brand has the best spark plugs, we have the spark plugs that the manufacturer initially used. So, come on in and change out those fouled plugs and see how much power you’ve been missing.
How Long Do Spark Plugs Last?
How Often To Replace Spark Plugs On A Car, well it’s complicated. Like many car parts, there will be spark plugs that might only last a year or plugs that can remain functional for many years. While it depends on your driving habits, the car will have a model-specific replacement schedule for the plugs. So, if your car is showing symptoms of bad plugs, bring it to us for a comprehensive examination. Our experienced technicians will check the coils and plugs for problems and provide you with options to get you back on the road quickly.
