BMW of Tulsa welcomes you to discover what the symptoms of damaged spark plug wires are.
Perhaps the most obvious symptom of faulty spark plugs is that your car just seems not quite normal. It may start slowly with lower fuel efficiency but could end up with no acceleration. Faulty spark plug wires or spark plug misfires may also cause problems starting your engine, a rough idle, and even low power. What starts as a minor drawback could end up being a safety hazard if not repaired in a timely manner. Regardless if you are already having issues or want to change them before the issues start, let us take a look. Our experienced technicians will inspect your car and provide you with options for the best fix to keep your vehicle on the road.
A spark plug is a component of the standard internal combustion engine that delivers a small spark of 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 specified spark plug gap. A gapping tool makes an accurate measurement (usually between .020 and .040 of an inch) to ensure the spark plug gap is correct. This is only applicable to gasoline engines because diesels don’t use spark plugs. In place of spark plugs, diesel engines use glow plugs.
The greatest benefit of new spark plugs is that your vehicle should run more efficiently, give improved gas mileage, and could reduce the pollution level of the car. It is a reasonable expense to replace the spark plugs, too. While everyone has a thought on the best spark plugs, we use the spark plugs that the manufacturer initially installed. So, bring your car in and swap those plugs and see how much acceleration you’ve been missing.
How Long Do Plugs Last On A Car, well it’s complicated. Like many products, there will be plugs that may last about a year or plugs that may remain functional for many years. While it depends on your driving behavior, the car will have a model-specific replacement plan for the plugs. So, if your vehicle is showing symptoms of bad plugs, you can bring it to us for a comprehensive examination. Our qualified techs will check the plugs and coils for damage and give you choices to get you out on the road quickly.
