FAQ
Can spark plugs cause hesitation before the idle gets truly bad?
Yes. Load-related weakness and rough idle often arrive from the same slipping ignition baseline.
Should I replace the full set?
Yes, in most cases. Spark plugs work as a set, and partial replacement usually creates a messy baseline.
