Learn About Ignition Repair For Your Car At Byers Airport Subaru
If your car won’t start when you turn the key, it’s obvious you’ve got a problem — but since so many different components work together to start the engine, it’s not exactly obvious what’s gone wrong. The ignition system on your car refers to all the parts that ignite the fuel in the engine. Combusting fuel in the engine is ultimately what makes it run. So, if your vehicle can’t ignite the fuel, the engine won’t start. We’ll help you get more familiar with your vehicle’s ignition system in the information below. Or, swing by our service center and share any questions you might have with one of our knowledgeable service advisors or technicians.
How Do I Know My Vehicle Needs The Ignition System Repaired?
When your vehicle won’t start, a dead battery is the first thing to consider. Technically, the battery is part of the ignition system, too. To ignite the fuel vaporized in the engine’s cylinders, the spark plugs create an electrical spark inside each cylinder. Power for these sparks comes from the battery. If the battery is dead, the engine won’t be able to start. Furthermore, an engine that’s misfiring or with incorrect spark timing may perform poorly and experience poor fuel economy. These can be signs that your spark plugs are starting to wear out. Eventually, they may wear to the point that no spark is generated and the engine won’t start. On most modern cars, spark plugs should last you 100,000 miles or more, though many vintage cars require old-school copper spark plugs that wear out much faster.
