How Often Should You Change Spark Plugs?
There are a lot to know about vehicle maintenance and even a small component also plays some major roles in overall health
of vehicle.
The spark plugs are the tiniest bolt of lightening which emits electric spark for combustion which ultimately moves
the car.
Spark plugs withstand the extreme heat and pressure within the cylinder for delivering a better combustion.
If spark plugs are not checked in a regular interval basis then it can be harmful for the vehicle engine.
Symptoms to know when spark plug needs to change
Every car engine produces 1000 rpm when it is in idle position for long.
Rough Idle :-
When spark plug doesn't perform properly, the engine produces a jittery sound with a large vibration.
The faulty spark plug causes a rough flow of energy which leads to rough idea.
When engine misfires, it halts for a second and then starts working normal.
Engine misfire :-
Engine misfire means there must be some cylinders of the vehicle are not working properly which causes the misfire.
The faulty spark plug issue also leads to higher the amount of emission.
If spark plug is worn out then it will jerk or start and stop continuously.
Engine surging :-
If the problem persists, make sure to check with the mechanic immediately to avoid any dangerous condition on road.
If your vehicle has worn out spark plugs then it can affect the fuel economy by 30%.
Increased fuel consumption :-
If you notice an increase in your trip to fuel station then make sure to check out the engine with a professional mechanic.
If the vehicle has poor acceleration then it also leads to worn out spark plug.
Acceleration issues :-
How long spark plug lasts?
As per automakers, you should replace your spark plugs roughly in every 30,000 miles.
High performance spark plugs have electrodes which can wear more faster, that's why you need to replace them
more often.
High Performance Spark plugs:
If your vehicle's spark plugs made of from iridium or platinum, they don't wear down quickly and they last for
longest life span.
Long Life Spark plugs:
When you pull out a spark plug from engine, if the base has oil on it then make sure to change it frequently.
Oil Leaking:
When a motorist frequently drive on high revs, then it puts more pressure on spark plugs which accelerate the worn
out process.
High Revs:
What are the benefits of spark plug change?
:- When the sparks are functioning properly, the engine produces optimal combustion and optimum energy for smooth drive.
:- When you maintain the spark plugs in proper intervals, it
maximizes the fuel economy and saves you some bucks.
:- After replacing the spark plugs, your vehicle will start energetically and deliver a smooth drive.
The change of spark plugs also leaves less harmful gas to environment which creates less pollution.
