Eventually, the spark plug gap widens, and the air-fuel mixture no longer ignites efficiently. Other engine problems might contaminate the spark plug, and in certain circumstances, it may not fire at all.

There's nothing like new car smell but where exactly does it come from?
The truth is that it's a mix of volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, off-gassing in your car. At new-car concentrations, these chemicals are not terribly dangerous, and they break down quickly, to the tune of about 20 percent decay every week. This means the smell doesn't linger all that long and therefore is pretty unique to new cars.
Middletown Tire & Auto wants to take the opportunity today to thank the many brave men and women who have answered the call to public service and who work hard each day to keep our communities safe.
A new car warranty, sometimes called a factory warranty, is the car manufacturer's promise to help pay for replacement parts or covered repairs during your specified warranty period. Car insurance on the other hand, helps to pay for damage and/or other expenses as the result of a collision or some other cause, like a fire or theft, depending on your coverage. Unlike a warranty, a car insurance policy likely won't cover vehicle problems due to mechanical or equipment breakdowns.
