Sandia BMW invites you to discover what the defective spark plug signs are.
The most noticeable sign of faulty spark plug wires is that your vehicle just feels ‘off.’ It may start slowly with something as simple as lower fuel economy but could end up with a lack of acceleration. Fouled spark plug wires or spark plug misfires will also cause problems starting the engine, a rough idle once started, and low power. What may start as a minor annoyance could develop into a safety hazard if not fixed in time. Whether you are already experiencing problems or want to change your spark plug wires before the issues start, let us take care of it. Our experienced technicians will check out your car and let you know the best fix to keep you on the road.
The spark plug is a part of the normal internal combustion engine that delivers electricity to ignite the fuel. Without spark plugs, an engine will not start or run. We make sure to use the correct spark plug gap, so the engine performs at its best. A gapping tool makes an exact measurement (usually between .020 and .040 of an inch) to make sure the correct spark plug gap is available. This is only applicable to gas engines because diesel engines don’t use 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 your car should run smoother, provide you with better gas mileage, and may even reduce the pollution level of your vehicle. It’s a very reasonable cost to change your spark plugs, as well. While some people have an opinion on the best spark plugs, we have the spark plugs that the original manufacturer used. So, bring your car in and replace those faulty plugs and see how much power you’ve been missing.
How Often Should I Replace The Plugs, well the answer is complex. Like many products, there are plugs that might only last about a year or plugs that may last many years. While it depends on your driving behavior, the car will have a specific replacement schedule for the plugs. So, if your car is having symptoms of fouled spark plugs, bring it to us for a complete check-up. Our qualified technicians will check the plugs, wires, and coils for problems or even misfires during normal operation and provide you with options to get you out on the road quickly.
