do, and why and when do they need to be changed? Here are a few questions that when through my mind when I was told that I needed to have my spark plugs changed. Because I understand not everyone is well versed in the answers to these questions, I've put together what I thought was important to know when it comes to spark plugs. Your spark plugs are an important part of starting your vehicle. In fact, the spark plugs are what delivers the spark to ignite the fuel and engine so that it starts. The details of exactly how your spark plugs are perfectly positioned and timed to work are truly amazing when you understand them fully. When it comes to when and why you should change your spark plugs, there are a couple of different reasons why they need to be changed. Some people like to follow the mileage that is suggested by there vehicles manufacturing manual that comes with your car. If you want to really prevent and maintain your car, you'll want to follow that manual. You want to prevent using your spark plugs over the amount of time that they should be used. If your spark plugs are over used you will find that your car will have to work harder to get that spark and start your car. You'll also notice that your car will idle roughly. To find out other reasons why you may need to change your spark plugs, you might have to turn to a local professional. These reasons are usually because they are worn, have bad wires or may be fouled. To really spot these you would have to watch the cylinders firing patters for each one. As you continue to use the same spark plugs the electrodes will wear. As this continues and gets worse, your car will have to over work to be able to ignite the spark. Soon, your car won't be able to produce the firing voltage and your spark plugs will need to be replaced. Sometimes your car might crank but wont start. This could be an indication of your spark plugs wearing |
