When was the last time you checked your spark plugs?

spark plugs

The spark plug is a vital component of the engine.

Its purpose is to ignite the air or fuel mixture inside the engine cylinder. Electrical energy is transmitted into the spark plug and ignites the fuel and air mixture in the engine combustion chamber. Another function of the spark plug is to help remove heat from the combustion chamber or the engine’s cylinder.

Like all other parts found on a certain vehicle, spark plugs can also eventually wear out and won’t work properly. As an owner, you should check and maintain your spark plugs or replace it if necessary.

Spark plugs are somewhat durable components and don’t need to be replaced too often, that said, the general recommendation is about every 30,000 to 90,000 miles. Each vehicle may differ on when they should be replaced. While this can be a fairly simple service and could be considered a do-it-yourself task, take caution as each spark plug location varies by manufacturer.

There may be obstructions such as large components or parts that may be difficult to remove without special tools to loosen them. Be sure to consult with professional for details on when to replace the spark plugs for your specific vehicle.

  • I chose Pit-Air Motors Ltd because of the good reviews I read on Google, so it was the first time I had used them. I can happily say I wasn't disappointed and I believe I have found a car garage for life! Marcin and his team are fantastic, helpful and understanding especially Bartek who did an excellent job. They managed to fit my car in for a check-up the next morning I called up (very last minute) which I can't thank them enough for. Marcin kept me updated and I felt I could put my trust in him and his team to do a good job. Thank you again.
