What are spark plugs?
Spark plugs ignite the air/fuel mixture in the engine. As the pistons start compressing this mixture, the ignition from the spark plugs gives that power to the engine. The power from the ignition forces the piston downwards, turning the crankshaft in the engine and providing power to move your vehicle. The spark plugs are a part of the ignition system. In combination with electrical and timing equipment, the spark plugs work to ignite the engine.
When should I replace my spark plugs?
Spark plugs are designed to be extremely durable and withstand a lot of damage. Determining when to replace your spark plugs depends on the number of miles driven and the material that the spark plugs are made of. It is generally advised to replace your spark plugs every 30,000 miles. It is best to consult the owner's manual of your vehicle to determine exactly when to replace your spark plugs. Whenever you need to replace your spark plugs, come to All Auto Service where our skilled technicians will replace your spark plugs to ensure that there won’t be further damage made to your vehicle’s engine and maintain your vehicle’s reliability.
