OEM Kia Spark Plugs & Glow Plugs

Without ignition, your Kia vehicle wouldn't have a chance of starting. That only happens thanks to your factory spark plugs.

How Spark Plugs Work

It starts when you turn the key in the ignition cylinder or press the "Start" button. That causes the spark plugs to fire an electric arc across a gap between two leads. Those gaps are precisely calibrated to deliver the precise amount of sparking required to kindle the mixture of oxygen and fuel inside the engine. Once that happens, pistons pump, your engine roars to life, and you're set to head off.

How to Spot Bad Spark Plugs

Eventually, however, your spark plugs can become less effective. That may be due to corrosion, or perhaps the gaps have widened too much to produce an effective spark. If that happens, your engine won't respond quite right. Signs of failure include:

• Misfiring engine
• Rough engine idle
• Worsening fuel economy
• Difficulty starting your Kia
• The "Check Engine" light comes on

Genuine OEM Spark Plugs Perform Best

To avoid trouble, follow the recommended maintenance schedule detailed in your owner's manual and avoid using your spark plugs beyond their max mileage rating.
