Replacement of spark plug wires addresses several key issues:
Difficulties with Engine Start: Worn or damaged spark plug wires can cause weak ignition, making it difficult to start the engine, especially in cold periods. New wires provide reliable spark formation necessary for starting.
Ignition Misfires and Unstable Engine Operation: Damaged wires can cause ignition misfires, leading to jerks and uneven engine operation. Replacing the wires eliminates these problems, improving the smoothness of the engine.
Decreased Engine Performance: Damaged wires may not provide sufficient voltage for normal spark formation, reducing the overall efficiency of fuel combustion and, consequently, engine power.
Increased Emissions of Pollutants: Inefficient fuel combustion due to faults in the ignition system increases emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere.
Impact on Vehicle's Electronic Systems: Worn wires can create electromagnetic interference, negatively affecting other electronic systems of the car.
Damage to Other Components: Incorrect operation of the ignition system can lead to damage to the spark plugs and the catalytic converter, increasing repair costs.
Deterioration of Overall Vehicle Reliability: Regular replacement of spark plug wires is a key maintenance element that helps prevent unforeseen problems and breakdowns.
Increased Fuel Consumption: Due to incomplete combustion caused by problems with the wires, the engine requires more fuel to compensate for the loss of power, leading to increased consumption.
Replacement of spark plug wires ensures stable and efficient engine operation, prevents various problems, and contributes to increasing the overall lifespan of the vehicle.
The AutoTechIQ ranking for Safety, Cost Avoidance, and Environmental Impact is

Jerking When Accelerating at Low Speeds
The jerking is commonly caused by a disruption in the engines fuel flow resulting in sputtering and jerky movements This is typically because of dirty fuel injectors broken spark plugs or faulty ignition coils Jerking can also occur due to other factors like debris in the mass airflow sensor damaged plug wires or a faulty throttle position sensor
If the car jerks when accelerating at low speeds it is advisable to consult a skilled professional for a comprehensive diagnosis Their expertise and ex...
