Spark Plug Change-Out Guide — Starring NGK
> Spark plugs are the little blighters that light up the fuel in your engine. Over time, they wear down from all the sparking, leading to misfires, less power, and guzzling more gas, especially in those turbo diesel engines like your HOLDEN EQUINOX TD (2018-2019).
Signs You've Got Spark Plug Troubles
• Engine's misfiring, feels rough when you put your foot down
• Idling like a tractor
• Fuel economy's gone down the drain
• That pesky check engine light's on
• Engine's a pain to start
WOF Worthy?
Yep, as long as the engine's running sweet and not chucking out heaps of emissions because of dodgy spark plugs. Misfires are a sure-fire WOF fail.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 4/10
