Ignition system check-up prevents failures and helps save money The arrival of the holiday period requires caring for the vehicle before hitting the road, as preventive maintenance avoids unexpected problems and ensures a safer and more relaxed trip. According to NGK, ignition system specialist brand, the items in this set, like candles, cables and coils, should be prioritized during reviews.. "These parts are of fundamental importance for the functioning of the engine and, when worn out, can cause serious problems, especially during a trip, as difficulties in the match, problems with resumes, loss of performance and unstable idling", alerta Hiromori Mori, NGK Technical Assistance Consultant. According to the expert, preventive maintenance also helps to save., since the use of frayed spark plugs can increase gasoline and ethanol consumption. "As fuel prices have been increasing frequently, the car owner needs to be even more attentive to the condition of the vehicle so as not to suffer significant damages", comments Hiromori Mori. Furthermore, faulty spark plugs can damage other parts of the vehicle, as it overloads the entire ignition system, greatly reducing the life of cables and coils. "That's why, whenever a component failure is identified, you have to inspect the entire system", guides the NGK specialist. Spark plug inspection is simple. Only by visually analyzing the part is it possible to identify engine problems, for example, in addition to the use of poor quality fuel, infiltration of oil and coolant into the combustion chamber. NGK recommends checking the ignition system as specified by the automaker, every 10,000 kilometers or annually.
