Gene Messer Chevrolet invites you to discover what the malfunctioning spark plug signs are.
The most obvious symptom of worn spark plugs is that your car just feels not quite normal. It may start slowly with something like diminished gas mileage but could end up with a lack of acceleration. Bad spark plug wires or spark plug misfires can also cause problems starting the engine, a rough idle, and loss of power. What starts as a minor drawback could become a safety issue if not sorted in an appropriate manner. Whether you are currently experiencing problems or just want to replace your spark plugs before they happen, let us take a look. Our technicians will inspect your vehicle and update you with the best outcome to keep your car on the road.
The spark plug is a component of the standard internal combustion engine that delivers electricity to ignite the fuel and air mixture. A gasoline engine won’t run or start without spark plugs. To ensure the engine performs its best, we use the right spark plug gap. A gapping tool makes an exact measurement to ensure the correct spark plug gap is available. This is only relevant to gas engines because there’s no such thing as diesel engine spark plugs. Instead of spark plugs, diesels use glow plugs.
The biggest benefit of replacing your spark plugs is that the car will likely run more efficiently, give you better gas mileage, and may even reduce the pollution from your vehicle. The price to replace the spark plugs is very reasonable, too. While some folk have a thought on the best spark plugs, we use the plugs that the manufacturer initially installed. So, come on in and swap those plugs and see what you have been missing.
How Long Do Plugs Last, well the answer is complicated. Like many car parts, there are spark plugs that might only last about a year or plugs that may remain functional for several years. While it depends on your driving habits, the vehicle will have a model-specific replacement schedule for the plugs. So, if your vehicle is showing symptoms of fouled spark plugs, bring it to us for a thorough check-up. Our knowledgeable technicians will check the plugs and coils for damage or even misfires during operation and give you choices to get you back on the road as soon as possible.
