Why Spark Plugs Matter

AMR Automotive Spark Plug ServicingAt the heart of your car’s engine lies the combustion process and spark plugs are instrumental in initiating this sequence. As the piston compresses the air-fuel mixture within the combustion chamber, the spark plug generates a spark that ignites the mixture, resulting in controlled explosions that drive the engine’s pistons. This continuous cycle is what ultimately powers your car.

Worn-Out Spark Plugs and Consequences:

Over time, spark plugs can wear out due to intense heat and pressure. When spark plugs become worn or damaged, several issues can arise, affecting both performance and fuel efficiency. One of the primary consequences of worn-out spark plugs is poor fuel efficiency.

Engine misfires are another common problem associated with worn-out spark plugs. Misfires occur when the spark plug fails to ignite the air-fuel mixture at the right time. Not only does this compromise performance, but it can also result in increased emissions and potential damage to other engine components.

Inspection Interval:

To ensure that your spark plugs are in optimal condition, it is crucial to adhere to the inspection and replacement intervals recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer.
