Signs you need a new spark plug

Spark plugs don’t need to be replaced often but if your car has logged anywhere around 50,000 miles it is a good idea to ask your mechanic to check the spark plug. You can also get it cleaned on one of your regular service visits. But if notice any of the following signs, it might mean you need to get the spark plug replaced as soon as possible-
  • 1. Difficulty starting the engine
  • 2. Surges or misfires with the engine
  • 3. Decreased fuel-economy
  • 4. Decreased acceleration
  • 5. Reluctant turnovers

Keep in mind that the above-mentioned symptoms apply only to spark plugs in a gasoline-powered engine. The diesel engines use glow plugs which are different from these and these two are not interchangeable.
