Lexus of Albuquerque welcomes you to discover what the what the indicators of faulty spark plug wires are.
Perhaps the most apparent symptom of bad spark plugs is your car just seems not quite right. It would probably start slowly with something as simple as diminished gas mileage but could end up with a lack of acceleration. Bad spark plug wires or spark plug misfires will also cause problems starting the engine, a rough idle, and loss of power. What might start as only a minor annoyance could end up being a safety issue. Regardless if you are currently experiencing problems or simply want to replace them before they happen, let us take care of it. Our experienced technicians will check out your vehicle and update you with the best fix to keep your car on the road.
The spark plug is a part of the normal gasoline engine that delivers a small spark of electricity to ignite the fuel and air mixture. An engine can’t start or run without spark plugs. We use the right spark plug gap, so the engine runs its best. A gapping tool makes an accurate measurement (between .020 and .040 of an inch) to make sure the spark plug gap is correct. This is only relevant to gasoline engines because there’s no such thing as diesel engine spark plugs. Instead of spark plugs, diesel engines have a separate system with glow plugs.
The greatest benefit of replacing your spark plugs is that the car should run smoother, provide better fuel economy, and could even reduce the pollution from the vehicle. The cost to change your spark plugs is very reasonable, as well. While everyone has a view on which brand has the best spark plugs, we use the spark plugs that the manufacturer originally installed in the car. So, bring your car in and change out those fouled plugs and see how much you have been missing.
How Often Should You Replace The Plugs On A Car, well it’s complicated. Like many car parts, there will be spark plugs that may last a year or plugs that can remain functional for many years. While it depends on your driving behavior, your car will have a unique replacement plan for the spark plugs. So, if your car is having symptoms of bad plugs, you can bring it to us for a comprehensive check-up. Our knowledgeable techs will check the coils and plugs for wear and get you out on the road as soon as possible.
