The spark plugs give the spark that ignites the air-fuel mixture inside the combustion chamber. These little plugs have a big job, and when they are fouled or faulty, they can cause various vehicle issues. If your Cadillac XT4, XT5, or Escalade shows any symptoms below, the qualified technicians at your Cadillac dealer will repair the problem fast and effectively.
The Check Engine Light Is On
Fouled plugs can cause your engine to misfire, triggering the check engine light. To prevent further damage and high repair costs, replace the plugs as soon as possible.
Your Engine Is Misfiring
When you hear the spluttering sound from a misfiring engine, it’s due to a damaged plug or plug wire. To avoid all kinds of problems, more damage, and costly repairs, sort out the problem as quickly as possible. A misfiring engine will cause your car to lose power, burn more gas, and increase exhaust emissions.
Your Car Guzzles Gas
Plugs assist in the burning of fuel in the combustion cycle. Old, worn-out, or misfiring plugs will increase your car’s fuel consumption due to the ineffective ignition of the gas in the cylinder on each combustion cycle. You will have to make more trips to the gas stations and spend more of your hard-earned cash on gas.
Your Car Feels Slow and Sluggish
When you step on the accelerator, and your car feels slow and sluggish, blame it on bad plugs. Fouled or worn plugs cause poor combustion resulting in a loss of power. You can easily fix your car’s sluggishness by asking your Cadillac technician to replace the plugs.
Your Car Vibrates and Idles Roughly
Your engine should have a healthy purr and not a rough roar when you start your car. When you start your vehicle, and it sounds rough, you hear knocking, rattling, or pinging sounds, and your vehicle vibrates, bad plugs could be the culprits.
You Struggle To Start Your Car
Bad plugs or damaged plug wires could make it difficult to start your car. When plugs are dirty, old, and worn out, they can’t create the necessary spark to power the engine. Get your vehicle to your Cadillac technician as quickly as possible to repair the problem before your car doesn’t start at all.
If you struggle with any of these issues, ask your Cadillac technician to inspect your car’s plugs and replace them if necessary. If you wait too long, it will cause more damage, leading to expensive repairs. To avoid forking out heaps of cash, call Service Cadillac today for a check-up. The qualified Cadillac technicians will inspect your car from top to bottom, perform the necessary repairs and replacements and ensure your vehicle is in excellent condition.
