Spark Plug Information

The purpose of the spark plug is to ignite the mixture of air and fuel in the combustion chamber. This ensures that the vehicle's engine has sufficient power to start. The power generated by the spark plugs does not last. Rather, it starts to radiate heat away from the combustion chamber. These automotive parts are little yet powerful, and they are required for the vehicle to function properly.

Potential Issues of Old Spark Plugs

When the spark plugs aren't working properly, the check engine light on the dashboard may illuminate. It could suggest that the spark plugs themselves, spark plug wires, or coil packs need to be replaced. Other faults with your vehicle can also cause the light to illuminate, so it's best to bring it into a service department to be diagnosed. Replacements are inexpensive and will generally eliminate issues you could be having like:

• Your vehicle will not start or may start slowly.
• The engine is misfiring or running irregularly.
• The engine is making a lot of noise and does not appear to be functioning properly.
• The engine does not idle smoothly and does not make a natural sound.
• Your gasoline use appears to be increasing for no apparent reason.
• When you try to accelerate, you feel a lack of power.

Benefits of New Spark Plugs

The benefits of your vehicle being equipped with new spark plugs are as follows:

• Your vehicle will start easily and fast, and you won't have to worry about being stuck while you’re out and about because the engine won't start.
• The function of your combustion motor is dependent on the spark from your spark plugs. Your motor will function at its best when the plugs deliver a constant and consistent spark. As you drive along the road, this enables smooth and quick acceleration and power.
• Everyone likes to save money, and your new spark plugs will help you get more mileage out of your vehicle. New spark plugs are inexpensive and save you money on gas in the long run.
• Fully functional spark plugs will boost the performance of your car while lowering emissions into the atmosphere. As a result, new spark plugs make your car more environmentally friendly.

How Serious is Spark Plug Problems?

If your spark plugs malfunction and causes misfiring or other issues, you should replace them right away. Failure to do so could result in damage to your catalytic converter or other engine problems. A misfire occurs when one or more of your engine's cylinders do not produce the power they should. Misfiring engines have to work harder to maintain power, lowering fuel economy. You don't want to end up spending thousands of dollars on a new engine because the spark plugs were not timely replaced.
