Spark plugs are a key component in your car’s ignition system and play a crucial role in keeping your engine running efficiently. At Tasca Kia Johnston, we understand the importance of regular spark plug maintenance. In this guide, we’ll cover why spark plugs matter, when to replace them, and signs that they might need attention. 

Why Spark Plugs Are Important 

Spark plugs are essential for several reasons: 

Fuel Ignition: They create the spark needed to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the engine’s cylinders, powering your car. 

Engine Performance: Good spark plugs ensure your engine runs smoothly and efficiently. 

Emissions: Properly functioning spark plugs help reduce harmful emissions, contributing to a cleaner environment. 

When to Replace Your Spark Plugs 

The timing for replacing spark plugs depends on the type of spark plugs and your vehicle’s needs: 

Standard Copper Spark Plugs: Generally need replacement every 20,000 to 30,000 miles. 

Platinum and Iridium Spark Plugs: These last longer and typically need replacement every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. 

Check Your Manual: Always refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the recommended replacement intervals. 

Signs Your Spark Plugs Need Replacement 

Keeping an eye out for these signs can help you avoid engine issues: 

Engine Misfires: Your engine might misfire or run unevenly. 

Lower Fuel Efficiency: A noticeable drop in fuel efficiency could indicate that your spark plugs are not firing correctly. 

Starting Problems: If your car has trouble starting, worn spark plugs might be the cause. 

Poor Acceleration: Sluggish acceleration or a lack of power can be a sign of failing spark plugs.
