Town North Nissan invites you to discover what the signs of faulty spark plug wires are.
Perhaps the most noticeable sign of bad spark plugs is that your car just seems ‘off.’ It might just start slowly with something as simple as lower fuel economy but could progress to a lack of acceleration. Faulty spark plugs or spark plug misfires will also lead to difficulty starting the engine, a rough idle once started, and even a loss of power. What may start as a minor drawback could end up being a safety concern if not sorted in an appropriate manner. Regardless if you are already having problems or want to change them before the problems start, let us take care of it. Our technicians will inspect your vehicle and update you with the best fix to keep your car on the road.
The spark plug is a part that delivers a small spark of electricity to ignite the fuel and air mixture in a standard gasoline engine. A gasoline engine will not run or start without spark plugs. We make sure to use the right spark plug gap, so the engine runs at its best. A gapping tool makes an exact measurement (usually between .020 and .040 of an inch) to make sure the spark plug gap is correct. This is only applicable on gasoline engines because there’s no such thing as diesel spark plugs. Diesels use glow plugs instead of spark plugs.
The biggest benefit of new spark plugs is that the vehicle will probably run better, give improved gas mileage, and could even reduce the pollution level of the vehicle. The price to change the spark plugs is very reasonable, too. While everyone has an opinion on the best spark plugs, we use the spark plugs that the manufacturer originally used. So, come on in and replace those fouled plugs and see how much power you have been missing.
How Often Should You Replace Plugs On A Vehicle, well the answer is complicated. Like many consumer products, there will be plugs that might last a year or plugs that may last many years. While it will change depending on your driving habits, your vehicle will have a specific replacement schedule for the plugs. So, if your vehicle is showing symptoms of bad plugs, bring it to us for a comprehensive check-up. Our experienced technicians will check the coils and plugs for damage and get you out on the road ASAP.
