It seems like you're experiencing issues with the spark plugs in your Toyota Altus 1.8, leading to difficulties in starting the vehicle. Faulty or incorrectly gapped spark plugs can cause a noticeable drop in performance and fuel efficiency, and in some cases, result in sluggish acceleration and long starting times¹. Here are some common symptoms of bad spark plugs that you might encounter:
- **Misfiring Engine**: This can feel like the engine is sputtering or struggling to perform.
- **Rough Idle**: The car may vibrate more than usual due to an inconsistent idle.
- **Trouble Accelerating**: The car may seem sluggish when you press the accelerator.
- **Decreased Fuel Economy**: You might notice that your car is consuming more fuel than normal.
- **Flashing Check Engine Light**: This could indicate a variety of issues, including problems with the spark plugs.
If you're experiencing these issues, it's important to check the spark plugs and replace them if necessary. Make sure to use the original spark plugs recommended by Toyota, which are typically iridium plugs and do not require gapping². However, if you're unsure about the process or the problem persists, it's best to consult with an authorized dealer or a professional mechanic. They can provide a thorough diagnosis and ensure that your vehicle is running smoothly
