With the increase of taxes on gasoline and ethanol across the country, and NGK, largest manufacturer and specialist in spark plugs and cables in the world, Remember that the spark plug helps the economy and helps to reduce the effects of fuel prices high, who are, average, 15% more expensive in bombs. Among the items that deserve more attention, The candle plays a fundamental role in consumption, because it is responsible for ensuring that all fuel is burned, no waste. Segundo Hiromori Mori, NGK Technical Assistance Technician, The irregular functioning of the part is not always clearly noticeable to the owner of the vehicle. “Because of the technological evolution, engines are conditioned to work in the most adverse situations. For this reason, When the problem begins to be perceived, It is a sign that the failure has been occurring for some time ”, alert. “Too worn candles cause excessive consumption, irregularities in functioning, increased pollutant emissions and can compromise other components, like ropes, coils, transformer, distributor and catalyst. NGK recommends reviewing and inspecting the component when the driver notices starting difficulties and failures during restarts., every 10.000 km or annually, what comes first. The company reinforces the importance of checking by a qualified professional.
ignition cable The ignition cables, responsible for conducting the high voltage produced by the coil (transformer) even the candles, without allowing current leakage, also need periodic checking, which must be performed every 60.000 kilometers or three years.
Oxygen sensor the oxygen sensor, also known as a lambda probe and marketed under the NTK brand., is responsible for analyzing the condition of the fuel combustion, being essential in the control of pollutant emission and consumption. The part compares the concentration of oxygen in the engine gases with the ambient air, enabling the adjustment of the amount of fuel injected into the combustion chamber. This process promotes the best relationship between performance, consumption and emissions. The irregular probe can accelerate the deterioration of other parts, like the catalyst.
