Your car’s ignition system is the unsung hero that ensures smooth starts, efficient combustion, and optimal engine performance. At the heart of this system are two critical components: spark plugs and ignition coils. While they may seem small, their role is massive—without them, your engine wouldn’t run at all.   In this blog post, we’ll break down how spark plugs and ignition coils work, signs they might be failing, and why keeping them in good condition is essential for your vehicle’s health.   1. The Role of Spark Plugs in the Ignition System   Spark plugs are small but mighty components that deliver the electric spark needed to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. Here’s how they work:   - High-voltage electricity from the ignition coil travels to the spark plug.   - The spark plug generates a spark across its electrode gap, igniting the compressed fuel-air mixture.   - This controlled explosio...

Airbags are one of the most critical safety features in modern vehicles, designed to protect drivers and passengers during collisions. However, like any other car component, airbags require proper maintenance and awareness of potential issues to ensure they function correctly when needed. In this blog, we’ll discuss airbag safety, maintenance tips, and common problems to watch out for.   How Airbag works.  Airbags are part of a vehicle’s Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and deploy within milliseconds of a collision. Sensors detect impact force and trigger the airbags to inflate, cushioning occupants and reducing injury risks.   Airbag Maintenance Tips To ensure your airbags remain in good working condition, follow these maintenance practices:   1. Regularly Check the Airbag Warning Light - The SRS warning light on your dashboard indicates system status.   - If the light stays on or flashes, there may be a fault— get it inspecte...
