Sterling McCall Toyota invites you to discover what the damaged spark plug signs are.
The most obvious sign of faulty spark plugs is that your vehicle just feels not quite right. It might just start slowly with diminished gas mileage but could end up with no acceleration. Faulty spark plugs or spark plug misfires will also lead to difficulty starting the engine, a rough idle, and low power. What starts as a minor annoyance could become a safety hazard if not fixed in time. Whether you are already experiencing problems or just want to change your spark plugs before the issues start, let us take care of it. Our experienced technicians will check out your car and let you know the best outcome to keep your car on the road.
The spark plug is a component of the normal internal combustion engine that delivers a small spark of electricity to ignite the fuel. Without spark plugs, a gasoline engine will not run or start. We use the correct spark plug gap, so the engine performs its absolute best. A gapping tool makes an exact measurement (usually between .020 and .040 of an inch) to ensure the spark plug gap is correct. This is only applicable on gas engines because there’s no such thing as diesel engine spark plugs. Diesels have a separate system that has glow plugs in place of spark plugs.
The greatest benefit of replacing your spark plugs is your car should run more efficiently, give you improved fuel efficiency, and could reduce the pollution from the vehicle. It’s a reasonable cost to replace your spark plugs, too. While everyone has a view on which brand has the best spark plugs, we use the spark plugs that the manufacturer installed in the vehicle. So, bring your car in and change out those plugs and see what you’ve been missing.
How Long Do Spark Plugs Last, well it’s complex. Like many consumer products, there will be spark plugs that may only last about a year or plugs that can last many years. While it can change based on your driving habits, the vehicle will have a specific replacement plan for the plugs. So, if your car is having symptoms of fouled spark plugs, you can bring it to us for a comprehensive inspection. Our experienced techs will check the plugs, wires, and coils for problems and get you out on the road ASAP.
