There is not much worse in life then having to deal with car trouble. Some people love their car and take it to the car wash, fill it with gas and have the oil changed. These are all things that we as a car owner know we have to do. When it comes to extra problems that seem to pop up at the worst time they can be a real drag on your life. We all depend on our car and we need to have it running to get us to work, school and more. When the car is starting to have problems you want to know what some of the common troubles are and what the signs are. This can help you determine what you need to do to get your car back on the road. One of the problems that people come across is with the spark plugs. They are a huge part of the car being able to function and there are some signs that will tell you they need replaced.
Citywide Towing Lists Signs You Need to Replace Your Spark Plugs
Rough Idle at Low RPM: You want to make sure that you pay attention to your car when it is being used. This means to pay attention to it even when it is sitting at rest. The car is at idle when it is on and not in gear. The sound should be very smooth and even without any jumps in the amount of RPM’s that are being exuded. The standard amount of RPM’s that a car should give off at an idle is 1000. If you notice you are not getting that smooth idle you need to be sure that you have your sparks plugs checked.
Car Starter Problems: There are several reasons your car will have trouble starting. It can be from the starter, battery or alternator. It can also be a problem with the spark plugs. The spark plugs give off the spark that is needed to run the motor and when it doesn’t it can actually drain your battery. If your battery turns out to be okay you want to check the spark plugs next.
Using Too Much Gas All of a Sudden: Most people will drive a little further to get gas for the best price. Money is hot commodity so you want to make sure that you do what you can to keep your car as efficient as possible. If you start to recognize that your car is using more gas than normal and your MPG is going down then it may be time to have the spark plugs replaced.
Engine Surging: One of the signs that are fairly dangerous is when you have engine surging or hesitation. This is when the engine gets extra air and that will make the car surge or hesitate. This can be difficult to handle if you are driving down the street. This would be a sign that you need to have your spark plugs replaced.
