The Acura repair team at Acura of Sherman Oaks is dedicated to caring for your vehicle, whether you need preventative service or comprehensive engine repair. We’re sharing everything you need to know about engine repair service so you can recognize when to bring your vehicle in.
Spark Plug Replacement
Internal combustion engines rely on a spark to initiate the combustion process. The spark plugs are what provide the electric spark that ignites the mixture of oxygen and fuel to power the vehicle. When the spark plugs in your car become worn or damaged, they cannot do their job properly, in which case it’s time for a replacement.
Oxygen Sensor Replacement
The combustion process in your Acura vehicle relies on a spark, but it also relies on the proper mixture of oxygen and fuel for ignition. The oxygen sensor, also known as an O2 sensor, reports on the fuel mixture in the vehicle and helps regulate the ratio. If you notice high levels of emissions, poor fuel efficiency, or power surges in your vehicle, your O2 sensor may need replacing.
Belt and Hose Replacement
During routine inspections, we look closely at the hoses and belts that keep your engine operating. Hot and cold temperatures can affect the health of hoses and belts, and it’s important to get hoses and belts replaced before they break and damage other essential systems.
