One of the first ways to know if your spark plugs aren’t working right is to understand how they work correctly. Spark plugs are a part of your ignition that moves high voltage currents from the ignition coil to ignite the combustion chamber as soon as you start your vehicle. So, by simply starting your vehicle, you’ll already have an idea of the condition of your spark plugs. Once your car is started, keep an eye out for additional performance problems such as:
- Slow or no start
- Engine misfire
- Engine that runs rough
- Rough idling
- Poor acceleration
- High fuel consumption
Benefits of Changing Your Spark Plugs
If you think it won’t make that much of a difference if you change your spark plugs or not, think again. There are plenty of benefits you’ll find once you get them replaced on your vehicle. Some of these benefits include:
- Improved fuel economy – Having a worn-out spark plug can reduce your fuel economy by as much as 30%, and replacing it can help gain that back.
- Consistent combustion system – Spark plugs allow for the continuous production of combustion and leave your vehicle’s system running as it should be.
- Your Vehicle Starts Smoothly – When you replace your spark plug and turn the key in the ignition, you can feel your vehicle start effortlessly.
- Less harmful emissions – Replacing your vehicle’s spark plugs can not only help increase your gas mileage but also improve your emissions.
