Description

Spark Plug Swap-Out: Your Ford EcoBoost's Tick-Tock Secret!
> Spark plugs? They're the little blighters that kickstart the whole combustion shebang in your Ford EcoBoost (Kuga, Focus, Escape). Over time, they wear down – like a trusty old pair of boots – leading to misfires, guzzling more fuel than a V8 at a burnout comp, and a rough idle. Turbocharged engines really feel it!

• Engine's misfiring, especially when you put your foot down.
• Idling like a tractor with a dodgy fuel pump.
• Fuel economy's gone down the gurgler.
• That pesky "check engine" light's glaring at you.
• Engine's a pain to start.

WOF Worries?
