BMW of Houston Midtown invites you to discover what the symptoms of malfunctioning spark plugs are.
Perhaps the most obvious sign of faulty spark plugs is your car just feels not quite right. It might just start slowly with something like diminished gas mileage but could end up with no acceleration. Faulty spark plug wires or spark plug misfires can also lead to difficulty starting your engine, a rough idle, and low power. What starts as only a minor inconvenience could end up being a safety issue if not repaired in an appropriate manner. Whether you are currently experiencing problems or want to change them before the problems start, let us take a look. Our experienced technicians will check out your car and let you know the best course of action to keep your car on the road.
A spark plug is a part of the standard gasoline engine that delivers electricity to ignite the fuel. An engine cannot start or run without spark plugs. To ensure the engine runs at its best, we use the right spark plug gap. A gapping tool is used to make an accurate measurement to ensure the correct spark plug gap is available. This is only relevant on gas engines because diesels don’t use spark plugs. Diesel engines have a separate system that has glow plugs in place of spark plugs.
The greatest benefit of replacing the spark plugs is the engine will run smoother, give you improved fuel efficiency, and could even reduce the pollution from the car. The price to change the spark plugs is reasonable, too. While everyone has a view on the best spark plugs, we use the spark plugs that the manufacturer initially used. So, bring your car in and swap those fouled plugs and see how much power you’ve been missing.
How Soon Should You Change The Spark Plugs, well the answer is complex. Like many products, there are spark plugs that might only last about a year or plugs that may remain functional for many years. While it can change based on your driving habits, the car will have a model-specific replacement plan for the plugs. So, if your car is showing symptoms of bad spark plugs, bring it to us for a comprehensive examination. Our knowledgeable technicians will check the plugs and coils for wear or even simple misfires during operation and get you out on the road ASAP.
