South Pointe Honda invites you to discover what the signs of malfunctioning spark plugs are.
The most noticeable symptom of worn spark plugs is your car just feels not quite right. It may start slowly with diminished fuel efficiency but could progress all the way to a lack of acceleration. Fouled spark plug wires or spark plug misfires will also cause problems starting your engine, a rough idle, and low power. What starts as a minor inconvenience could end up being a safety hazard if not sorted in a timely manner. Whether you are already having problems or just want to change the spark plugs before they happen, let us take care of it. Our technicians will inspect your car and let you know the best fix to keep you on the road.
A spark plug is a part of the standard internal combustion engine that delivers electricity to ignite the fuel and air mixture. Without spark plugs, a gasoline engine can’t start or run. To ensure the engine performs at its 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 relevant on gasoline engines because there is no such thing as diesel engine spark plugs. In place of spark plugs, diesels have a separate system that has glow plugs.
The greatest benefit of new spark plugs is your car should run more efficiently, give you better gas mileage, and could even reduce the pollution from the car. It is a very reasonable cost to change your spark plugs, too. While some people have a thought on the best spark plugs, we use the plugs that the original manufacturer used. So, bring your vehicle in and change out those faulty spark plugs and see how much acceleration you have been missing.
How Often Should I Change Spark Plugs On A Car, well the answer is complex. Like many vehicle components, there will be plugs that may last a year or plugs that can remain functional for many years. While it will change depending on your driving habits, the vehicle will have a unique replacement schedule for the spark plugs. So, if your vehicle is having symptoms of bad spark plugs, bring it to us for a thorough check-up. Our qualified techs will check the coils and plugs for wear or even simple misfires during normal operation and give you choices to get you back on the road ASAP.
