Bob Howard Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram welcomes you to discover what the symptoms of bad spark plug wires are.
Perhaps the most obvious sign of bad spark plugs is that your vehicle just feels a little ‘off.’ It might just start slowly with lower fuel economy but could progress to a lack of acceleration. Bad spark plugs or spark plug misfires will also lead to problems starting your engine, a rough idle once started, and even a loss of power. What may start as a minor annoyance could develop into a safety hazard. Whether you are currently having problems or want to change the spark plug wires before the problems start, let us take a look. Our technicians will check out your car and let you know the best fix to keep your vehicle on the road.
The spark plug is a component that delivers a small spark of electricity to ignite the fuel and air mixture in the normal gasoline engine. Without spark plugs, an engine cannot start or run. We use the specified spark plug gap, so the engine performs its absolute best. A gapping tool is used to make an exact measurement (between .020 and .040 of an inch) to make sure the correct spark plug gap is available. This is only relevant on gasoline engines because diesels don’t use spark plugs. Diesel engines use glow plugs in place of spark plugs.
The greatest benefit of replacing the spark plugs is that the engine will probably run better, provide you with improved fuel efficiency, and may even reduce the pollution from your car. The cost to replace your spark plugs is reasonable, too. While everyone has a thought on which brand has the best spark plugs, we have the plugs that the original manufacturer installed. So, come on in and change out those fouled plugs and see what you’ve been missing.
How Soon Should I Replace Plugs, well the answer is complicated. Like many products, there will be spark plugs that may only last about a year or plugs that may remain functional for several years. While it will change depending on your driving behavior, your vehicle will have a specific replacement plan for the plugs. So, if your car is having symptoms of faulty plugs, bring it to us for a complete examination. Our knowledgeable automotive techs will check the coils and plugs for problems and provide you with options to get you out on the road quickly.
