WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT SPARK PLUGS

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT SPARK PLUGS

Among the many things that require routine maintenance on our vehicles are spark plugs.   If your mechanic says you need new spark plugs and you don’t understand why, the explanation of their importance may sound like a second language. Maybe you’d like to speak the language of your mechanic and have a sense of what spark plugs are and why they need to be in good working order.  So, if you’re of the mindset that it can never hurt to learn a little about car maintenance, here’s your spark plug tutorial. Why spark plugs are important. Your car won’t start without them. Why your car won’t start without spark plugs. Here’s how the process works.
