Gene Messer Toyota welcomes you to discover what the signs of defective spark plug wires are.
The most apparent symptom of worn spark plugs is your car just seems not quite normal. It might just start slowly with something as simple as reduced gas mileage but could progress to a lack of acceleration. Faulty spark plugs or spark plug misfires can also lead to problems starting the engine, a rough idle, and low power. What may start as a minor inconvenience could become a safety concern if not repaired in time. Whether you are already having issues or want to change them before the issues start, let us take care of it. Our technicians will investigate your vehicle and let you know the best course of action to keep your vehicle on the road.
The spark plug is a part of the normal gasoline engine that delivers electricity to ignite the fuel and air mixture. Without spark plugs, an engine can’t run or start. To ensure the engine runs at its absolute best, we use the correct spark plug gap. A gapping tool is used to make a precise measurement (somewhere between .020 and .040 of an inch) to ensure the correct spark plug gap is available. This is only applicable on gasoline engines because there is no such thing as diesel engine spark plugs. Diesel engines use glow plugs instead of spark plugs.
The biggest benefit of new spark plugs is the vehicle will probably run smoother, give better fuel efficiency, and could reduce the pollution from your car. It is a very reasonable cost to replace your spark plugs, too. While everyone has a thought on which brand has the best spark plugs, we have the spark plugs that the original manufacturer installed. So, bring your vehicle in and replace those fouled plugs and see how much power you have been missing.
How Often Should I Change Plugs On A Vehicle, well the answer is complex. Like many car parts, there are plugs that may last a year or spark plugs that may remain functional for several years. While it depends on your driving habits, the vehicle will have a unique replacement schedule for the spark plugs. So, if your car is showing symptoms of faulty plugs, bring it to us for a thorough examination. Our knowledgeable technicians will check the coils and plugs for wear or even simple misfires during normal operation and provide you with options to get you out on the road as soon as possible.
