Shamaley GMC invites you to discover what the symptoms of defective spark plug wires are.
Perhaps the most obvious symptom of faulty spark plugs is that your vehicle just seems not quite right. It may start slowly with diminished gas mileage but could progress all the way to no acceleration. Bad spark plugs or spark plug misfires may also cause problems starting the engine, a rough idle, and even low power. What might start as a minor annoyance could end up being a safety concern if not fixed in a timely manner. Regardless if you are already having problems or simply want to change them before the problems start, let us take a look. Our experienced technicians will check out your car and provide you with options for the best fix to keep you on the road.
A spark plug is a component that delivers a small spark of electricity to ignite the fuel and air mixture in the standard gasoline engine. An engine cannot run or start without spark plugs. To ensure the engine runs at its absolute best, we use the specified spark plug gap. A gapping tool makes a precise measurement (between .020 and .040 of an inch) to ensure the spark plug gap is correct. This is only relevant on gasoline engines because there’s no such thing as diesel spark plugs. Diesel engines have a separate system that has glow plugs in place of spark plugs.
The biggest benefit of new spark plugs is that the vehicle should run more efficiently, give better gas mileage, and could even reduce the pollution level of your car. It’s a reasonable cost to change the spark plugs, as well. While some folk have a view on the best spark plugs, we use the spark plugs that the manufacturer originally installed. So, come on in and replace those fouled plugs and see how much you have been missing.
How Soon Should You Change The Spark Plugs, well the answer is complex. Like many products, there will be spark plugs that may last about a year or plugs that can last many years. While it can change based on your driving behavior, your car will have a specific replacement schedule for the spark plugs. So, if your car is having symptoms of bad spark plugs, bring it to us for a comprehensive inspection. Our knowledgeable automotive technicians will check the plugs and coils for damage or even misfires during operation and get you out on the road as soon as possible.
