What Are Spark Plugs?
Spark plugs, like your vehicle’s battery, are instrumental in the start-up process for your vehicle. These plugs quite literally create a spark that allow the ignition to turn over and thus start the car. When spark plugs begin to degrade, you may notice engine misfires, lower fuel economy, and cold starts. Eventually, if you do not replace your spark plugs, they simply will not work and you will need to arrange a tow to a nearby service center.
How Often Should I Replace My Spark Plugs?
To help keep your engine running smoothly, to improve fuel economy, and to avoid being stranded, you should replace your spark plugs as spelled out in your owner’s manual. The typical interval for most vehicles is every 30,000 miles.
