Signs that your car needs new spark plugs
Signs that your car needs new spark plugs.
- When a vehicle is sluggish,
- When the vehicle misfires frequently
- When the vehicle stalls after ignition,
- When there is a rattling, pinging, or knock like noise.
- Poor fuel economy
- Reduced performance
Similarly, if the car uses more fuel or the engine makes a rattling, pinging, or knocking sound when idling, it may be an indication the engine is not firing properly. Without a spark, your car will not start. The plug plays a vital role in your vehicle.
The only way to identify the problem is to check the condition of the plugs or contact a Partsboyz Specialist.
Before you check the plug itself, make sure the engine is cool to the touch.
Steps for replacing spark plugs
- Change your spark plug one at a time.
- Check the gap on the spark plug or check the car manual.
- Check the plug leads if there is any damage
- Use a plug socket to tighten the plug
Always ask a mechanic before you attempt to change the plug yourself. Healthy spark plugs are very important to your car’s ability to start up and stay moving on the road.
Luckily, spark plugs don’t require replacement very often and can go years, and many km before replacement is a must.
By the time a spark plug actually gets old, they have already spent thousands of kilometers enduring the extreme conditions.
Best to always keep an eye on your spark plugs and make sure it is in top condition. Make sure you always check your spark plugs before you go on holiday. Always keep an extra set in your vehicle.
