Winter officially began on the 21st and the cold is already present in Brazilian cities, especially in the mornings. These low temperatures require some extra care with Flex motors to avoid misfires., especially when you choose to load ethanol. According to NGK, ignition specialist brand, difficulties can be avoided if the rider keeps the checks up to date, especially ignition parts. Worn ignition components can lead to poor engine performance on cold days., mainly after a long period of the engine off. Spark plugs suffer natural wear, because they work in severe conditions, as pressure and high temperatures. Therefore, We recommend an inspection every 10.000 km or annually, or whichever comes first, in addition to checking the cables and coils ", comments Hiromori Mori, NGK Technical Assistance Consultant. According to the specialist, Other components that need attention at this time of year are the auxiliary cold start systems.. For example, Ideally, owners should replace the fuel in the reservoir every 90 days at a reputable gas station. "This guarantees, besides the quality, that the fuel is always new, which facilitates cold starts ", destaca Hiromori. On other vehicle models, Another fairly common technology is the system that heats up the ethanol when the engine temperature is very low at the moment of ignition.. "This is a solution that requires a lot of power from the vehicle's electrical system to be able to operate, it also requires additional care with the ignition.. Forcing its use with a worn spark plug causes problems for the battery and causes failures ", finaliza Hiromori Mori.
