When you think about all the MAZDA parts in your vehicle that need to be checked and maintained, the spark plugs probably aren’t coming to mind. However, these are some of your vehicle's most essential parts. Our team here at Tumminia Mazda is here to educate you about your spark plugs and explain why they are so important.
Why Spark Plugs Are Important MAZDA Parts
Spark plugs help drive the charge from your ignition to your engine. Without that spark, your car won’t start or run.
There are three types of spark plugs: copper, platinum, and iridium. You can look up what kind of spark plug your vehicle needs or ask your Mazda service expert. Copper plugs are the least expensive, but this is one exceptionally affordable maintenance item.
Cost for Spark Plugs
Despite being such an essential part of your vehicle, these are relatively inexpensive to fix and service. New spark plugs cost between $5 and $25 each, depending on which ones you need. Also, spark plug service won’t cost more than around $200. When your car doesn’t start, many drivers hope it’s the spark plugs rather than the engine.
There are a few signs that your spark plugs are failing. If your engine doesn’t start, if it misfires, if it sounds almost jittery, or if you are consuming more fuel than usual, bring it in for service. However, these aren’t changed regularly as they can last between 80,000 and 100,000 miles on average.
