spark plug change

Ignition component swap

A spark plug change is routine engine maintenance in which worn spark plugs are removed and replaced with new ones.

Spark plugs ignite the fuel-air mixture in combustion engines, and their electrodes degrade over time, causing misfires, rough idling, or poor fuel economy.

Most vehicles need a spark plug change every 30,000 to 100,000 miles depending on plug type: The mechanic recommended a spark plug change to fix the hesitation on acceleration.
