 When Do I Change Spark Plugs?

Besides asking, “When do I change spark plugs,” some Moundsville just want to know what spark plugs do! Spark plugs are part of your ignition system. They move a high-voltage current from the ignition coil to spark the combustion chamber when you start your vehicle. So if you have malfunctioning spark plugs, you’ll notice when you’re starting your engine. Here are some signs of spark plugs needing replacement:

• Engine misfires
• Engine is slow to start
• Engine won’t start
• Running rough on St. Clairsville, OH roads
• Rough idling
• Poor acceleration
• High fuel consumption

That’s right, bad spark plugs can decrease your fuel economy! This is one major reason why it’s important to know how often to change your spark plugs.

Benefits of Changing Spark Plugs

If you change your spark plugs at the right time, you’ll avoid all the issues above. But you’ll also experience a number of other benefits. Here’s what we mean:

• Better Fuel Economy – As noted above, your spark plugs will decrease your fuel economy if they go unattended — by as much as 30%!
• Smooth Starts: It’s never comfortable to have a vehicle that struggles to start. Replace your spark plugs to ensure smooth starts to your vehicle.
• Improved Emissions: You’ll have less harmful emissions if you replace your spark plugs at the right time.

• Better Combustion System: Good spark plugs will make your combustion system run smoothly.
