Lexus Southwest Houston welcomes you to discover what the what the signs of bad spark plug wires are.
Perhaps the most obvious symptom of bad spark plug wires is your vehicle just seems not quite normal. It might start slowly with something like reduced fuel economy but could end up with no acceleration. Faulty spark plugs or spark plug misfires will also cause problems starting the engine, a rough idle once started, and even low power. What may start as just a minor annoyance could end up being a safety concern. Whether you are already having issues or simply want to change the spark plug wires before they happen, let us take care of it. Our technicians will check out your vehicle and provide you with options for the best course of action to keep your vehicle on the road.
The spark plug is a part that delivers electricity to ignite the fuel and air mixture in the normal internal combustion engine. An engine won’t start or run without spark plugs. To ensure the engine runs its absolute best, we use the correct spark plug gap. A gapping tool is used to make a precise measurement (between .020 and .040 of an inch) to ensure the spark plug gap is correct. This is only applicable to gas engines because there is no such thing as diesel engine spark plugs. Instead of spark plugs, diesel engines use glow plugs.
The biggest benefit of replacing your spark plugs is that the vehicle will run better, give better gas mileage, and could even reduce the pollution level of your car. The cost to change the spark plugs is very reasonable, too. While everyone has a thought on which brand has the best spark plugs, we have the spark plugs that the manufacturer used. So, come on in and replace those fouled plugs and see how much acceleration you’ve been missing.
How Soon Should You Change The Plugs On My Vehicle, well the answer is complicated. Like many consumer products, there are plugs that may last a year or plugs that may last many years. While it can change based on your driving habits, your 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 complete inspection. Our experienced automotive techs will check the coils and plugs for problems and get you back on the road as soon as possible.
