Kia of South Austin invites you to discover what the signs of faulty spark plugs are.
Perhaps the most obvious symptom of bad spark plugs is that your car just feels not quite normal. It might just start slowly with something like reduced fuel economy but could end up with a lack of acceleration. Faulty spark plugs or spark plug misfires may 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 an appropriate manner. Regardless if you are already having issues or just want to change them before they happen, let us take care of it. Our technicians will investigate your vehicle and provide you with options for the best outcome to keep your car on the road.
A spark plug is a component of the standard internal combustion engine that delivers a spark of electricity to ignite the fuel and air mixture. Without spark plugs, a gasoline engine won’t run or start. We use the specified spark plug gap, so the engine runs at its absolute best. A gapping tool makes an accurate measurement to ensure the spark plug gap is correct. This is only applicable to gas engines because diesels don’t use spark plugs. Diesels use glow plugs instead of spark plugs.
The biggest benefit of changing your spark plugs is that the vehicle should run more efficiently, provide improved fuel efficiency, and could reduce the pollution from the car. The cost to replace the spark plugs is very reasonable, as well. While everyone has an opinion on which brand has the best spark plugs, we use the spark plugs that the manufacturer installed. So, bring your car in and replace those fouled plugs and see what you’ve been missing.
How Long Do Spark Plugs Last, well it’s complicated. Like many vehicle parts, there are plugs that may last a year or plugs that may remain functional for several years. While it can change depending on your driving behavior, your vehicle will have a model-specific replacement schedule for the plugs. So, if your car is having symptoms of faulty spark plugs, bring it to us for a complete check-up. Our knowledgeable automotive techs will check the plugs, wires, and coils for wear or even simple misfires during operation and get you out on the road quickly.
