Quick facts

Misfires, hard starting or a rough idle can point to worn spark plugs. A failing ignition coil, damaged spark plug wires or a fuel injector problem can bring on the same symptoms, so track down the cause before buying spark plugs. Each engine takes one spark plug per cylinder, so the 6-cylinder engines take six and the V8 engines take eight.
