Land Rover Santa Fe welcomes you to discover what the signs of malfunctioning spark plugs are.
The most noticeable symptom of worn spark plug wires is your vehicle just feels a little ‘off.’ It may start slowly with something like reduced gas mileage but could progress to a lack of acceleration. Fouled spark plug wires or spark plug misfires may also lead to difficulty starting your engine, a rough idle once started, and even low power. What might start as just a minor inconvenience could become a safety issue. Regardless if you are already experiencing issues or simply want to replace the spark plug wires before they happen, let us take a look. Our technicians will check out your vehicle and provide you with options for the best course of action to keep you on the road.
A spark plug is a component that delivers electricity to ignite the fuel and air mixture in a normal gasoline engine. A gasoline engine won’t start or run without spark plugs. To ensure the engine runs its best, we use the specified spark plug gap. A gapping tool is used to make an accurate measurement (somewhere between .020 and .040 of an inch) to ensure the spark plug gap is correct. This is only relevant to gas engines because diesels don’t use spark plugs. Diesels use glow plugs in place of spark plugs.
The biggest benefit of new spark plugs is your vehicle will likely run more efficiently, give improved fuel efficiency, and could even reduce the pollution level of your car. The expense to change the spark plugs is very reasonable, as well. While everyone has a view on which ones are the best spark plugs, we have the spark plugs that the manufacturer initially used. So, come on in and swap those spark plugs and see how much acceleration you’ve been missing.
How Long Do Spark Plugs Last, well it’s complex. Like many car parts, there will be spark plugs that may last a year or plugs that can last many years. While it depends on your driving habits, your vehicle will have a specific replacement plan for the spark plugs. So, if your car is having symptoms of fouled plugs, bring it to us for a comprehensive check-up. Our knowledgeable automotive techs will check the plugs and coils for damage or even simple misfires during normal operation and give you choices to get you back on the road quickly.
