Your Nissan spark plugs can be found in a straight line on the side or top of your engine. At first glance, your Spark Plug may look like a long, oddly-shaped screw. However, it plays a significant role in your vehicle's overall function. If any Spark Plug is neglected for so long that it ceases operating efficiently, your car probably won't run.
Your Nissan spark plugs and the engine work to transform regular fuel into useable energy so that you can enjoy a smooth start and journey in your Nissan. So how does this happen? Your Spark Plug generates an intense electrical spark. This spark then ignites the incredibly volatile combination of air and fuel in your Nissan's combustion chamber. This process creates more than enough energy to get your car moving down the interstate. Without a properly functioning Spark Plug, the amount of force or power your vehicle needs to ignite your fuel and transform it into energy decreases, which can cause some pretty serious issues.
A Spark Plug needs periodic servicing, just like filters and tires on your Nissan. If they not serviced routinely, you may start to experience quite a few issues. Potential signs of a bad Spark Plug include misfiring of the engine and knocking lower fuel economy, problems with starting your vehicle, random shut-offs, and difficulty accelerating. All of these issues can hinder your car from working properly. Neglected spark plugs can also compromise your other engine parts.
When replacing a Spark Plug, it's best to consult your Nissan owner's manual for scheduled replacement recommendations. Many Spark Plug service periods are advised at 30,000 miles.
Doing a Spark Plug replacement at home is possible but can prove a bit challenging as you may need to disassemble your Nissan's ignition cables, coil packs, plug wires, and other essential parts, In effect, it's best to leave this job to Nissan mechanics and technicians. However, if you opt for doing the installation yourself, consult your owner's manual, confirm that your vehicle is parked on a flat surface, and detach your battery before starting this process.
Each vehicle requires a specific Spark Plug made from certain materials. Give your engine what's needed by trading a worn out Spark Plug with OEM components from Nissan Parts.
