It’s easy to forget the level of importance your ignition system has until it starts to malfunction. Watching for these signs will help you pinpoint and address any issues that arise.
Difficulty starting your car is a hallmark of a faulty ignition. A clicking sound when you turn the key is a classic sign of ignition trouble. You may also notice that it’s hard to turn your key, or you may successfully start your car only to have it shut off again unexpectedly as you’re driving.
A more subtle sign of trouble is a drop in fuel efficiency. The gas doesn’t ignite correctly inside the engine, causing the engine to use more of it to produce normal levels of performance. You may also notice strange noises like backfiring, indicating poor burning of fuel. This can also cause damage to components in your fuel system.
