Spark Plugs Replacement in Ludington, MI

Spark plugs use high voltage to generate the sparks that ignite the fuel-air mixture, which generates the energy to propel your vehicle down the road. Depending on their materials and quality, spark plugs will need to be replaced every 30,000 to 90,000 miles. When the spark plugs start failing, the engine performance will suffer, your vehicle is likely to suffer engine misfires, and the check engine light will likely come “on” – it’s a signal that you need to visit your friendly Ludington mechanic. At Mick’s Truck and Auto we offer comprehensive starting system and engine diagnostics and repairs, and spark plugs replacement is one of the services we offer.

The Spark Plugs Are Likely Failing If:

You hear rattling noises which can accompany spark plugs going bad.
The Check Engine Light (CEL) comes “on” – failing spark plugs will likely cause the computer to illuminate the CEL.
Engine misfires can be caused by bad spark plugs.
Reduced engine performance often results when spark plugs are at the end of their useful life and starting to fail.

As mentioned previously, depending on their quality, spark plugs can last anywhere from 30,000 miles to 90,000 miles. Copper spark plugs tend towards the lower end of the range, while well-made iridium spark plugs can last 90,000 miles. If you suspect spark plugs problems, we highly recommend bringing your vehicle to a local mechanic right away. Driving with failing spark plugs is possible, but it can result in engine misfires, and even catalytic converter damage – a very expensive and time consuming repair, since catalytic converters are often on backorder due to huge demand caused by catalytic converter theft.
