The spark plugs within your Nissan are located in a row along either the side or top of your engine. Initially, a Spark Plug looks somewhat like a big, oddly-shaped screw. In reality, your Spark Plug plays a significant role in your Nissan's ability to function. If a plug becomes so damaged that it no longer functions properly, your Nissan probably won't run.
The spark plugs in your Nissan help your engine turn regular fuel into useable energy so that you're able to enjoy a smooth start and journey in your Nissan. So how does this happen? Your Spark Plug generates an electrical spark, igniting the extremely volatile combination of air and fuel in your vehicle's combustion chamber, creating the energy needed to power your Nissan as it drives down the road. Without a great working Spark Plug, the amount of power your vehicle needs to ignite your fuel and turn it into actionable energy decreases, which can cause some pretty serious problems.
A Spark Plug needs routine servicing and maintenance, similar to filters, motor oil, and tires on your vehicle. If they are neglected for too long, you may start to experience quite a few issues. Signs of a bad Spark Plug may involve misfiring of the engine and knocking reduced fuel economy, difficulty starting your Nissan, random shut-offs, and difficulty accelerating. Each of these issues can hinder your car from starting and driving efficiently. A damaged Spark Plug can also negatively impact many other engine parts.
When it comes to replacing your Spark Plug, we recommend that you read over your owner's manual for scheduled replacement recommendations. However, most Spark Plug service intervals are suggested every 30,000 miles.
Doing a Spark Plug replacement at home can be done but may be a bit challenging as you may need to disassemble your Nissan's ignition cables, coils, wire plugs, and other essential parts, We recommend leaving this job to Nissan experienced professionals. Should you opt for doing the repairs yourself, read over your owner's manual, confirm that your vehicle is parked on a smooth surface, and unplug the battery before beginning the installation.
