Ignition System Maintenance and Repairs for European, Domestic, and Import Vehicle Owners in Texas
- Ignition Coil Replacement: The ignition coil is responsible for converting the battery’s low voltage into the high voltage that’s required to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. If the ignition coil fails, it’ll become apparent when you encounter engine misfires, poor fuel economy, problems starting the vehicle, and an illuminated check engine light on the dashboard. This situation requires action! Located in Lewisville or Argyle? We recommend bringing your car to either one of our garages in the area for ignition coil replacements.
- Spark Plug Replacement: The spark plug is one of the most important components of the ignition system — it provides the spark needed to ignite the air-fuel mixture within the engine cylinders. If you experience issues with starting your vehicle, loss of acceleration, reduced fuel efficiency, or engine misfires, then your spark plugs are most likely faulty. Old or malfunctioning spark plugs need to be replaced as soon as possible. Traveling through McKinney or Cross Roads and need a spark plug replacement? Simply drive on in to any of our facilities for high-quality repairs!
- Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement: The crankshaft position sensor in your vehicle is responsible for keeping the position and speed of the crankshaft in check, providing vital input to the engine control unit used for spark and fuel injection. If your engine starts stalling, rough idling, misfiring, and inconsistently accelerating while driving, it’s important to look into the cause. Watch out for your check engine light! If it’s on and you’re experiencing these symptoms, then your crankshaft position sensor might be faulty and needs to be inspected and replaced by a certified mechanic as soon as possible.
- Ignition Switch Services and Replacement: Your vehicle’s ignition switch is responsible for activating the electrical systems and starting the engine when you press the button or turn on the ignition switch. If your key is getting stuck and won’t turn or your car and its electrical components start failing, then the ignition switch most likely needs to be repaired or replaced, depending on the extent of the problem.
