Group 1 Nissan Southwest Houstoninvites you to discover what the symptoms of defective spark plugs are.
Perhaps the most obvious symptom of worn spark plug wires is that your vehicle just seems ‘off.’ It might just start slowly with something like reduced fuel economy but could end up with a lack of acceleration. Faulty spark plug wires or spark plug misfires may also cause problems starting the engine, a rough idle, and low power. What starts as just a minor drawback could become a safety concern if not fixed in an appropriate manner. Regardless if you are already experiencing issues or just want to replace the spark plugs before they happen, let us take care of it. Our technicians will check out your vehicle and provide you with options for the best fix to keep you on the road.
The spark plug is a component that delivers a small spark of electricity to ignite the fuel and air mixture in a normal internal combustion engine. A gasoline engine won’t run or start without spark plugs. We make sure to use the specified spark plug gap, so the engine performs its absolute best. A gapping tool makes an exact measurement (somewhere between .020 and .040 of an inch) to ensure the spark plug gap is correct. This is only applicable to gasoline engines because there is no such thing as diesel spark plugs. Instead of spark plugs, diesel engines use glow plugs.
The biggest benefit of changing your spark plugs is that your vehicle should run more efficiently, provide better fuel efficiency, and could even reduce the pollution level of your vehicle. The cost to change the spark plugs is quite reasonable, too. While everyone has an opinion on which ones are the best spark plugs, we use the spark plugs that the original manufacturer installed in the vehicle. So, come on in and change out those spark plugs and see what you’ve been missing.
How Often To Replace The Spark Plugs, well the answer is complicated. Like many vehicle parts, there will be plugs that might only last about a year or plugs that can last many years. While it will change based on your driving behavior, your vehicle will have a model-specific replacement plan for the spark plugs. So, if your vehicle is showing symptoms of faulty plugs, you can bring it to us for a complete check-up. Our qualified technicians will check the coils and plugs for problems or even simple misfires during operation and provide you with options to get you out on the road as soon as possible.
