Best Way to Assure Winter Starts EveryTime;Keep Engine in Shape

If you want to avoid those long waits for starting help on a cold or rainy day, Champion Spark Plug Company has some advic for you. And it’s not move warm, dry climate. The best way to make certain your car starts every time this winter is to put and keep your engine in shape. ; Take the Province of Quebec and its sister Province of British Columbia. Quebec has severe winters. British Columbia has mild winters. Yet 19.5 percent of Quebec motorists had starting trouble while 32.2 of British Columbia's car owners experienced difficulty. Why? Rate of tune-up purchase in Quebec was 43 percent while B.C.’s rate was only 23.4 percent. A comparable picture developed in the U.S. Cold, blustery New England states had a 22.3 percent rate of starting failure against a 31.9 percent rate of tune-up purchase. The balmy-climed Pacific Coast states suffered a 25 percent rate of starting failure and a 21.3 percentage of tune-up purchases. Like the economy, your engine is affected by the law of supply and demand. In foul weather, a sub-par engine demands more voltage to fire and the supply is generally lower.

MBH There it no better insurance against winter-time starting trouble than an expert tune-up performed by a man with the right tools and diagnostic equipment. More specifically, when the weather is cold or wet, the car’s electrical system loses power. Aggravating the situation, the presence of worn ignition parts can “leak” voltage or “block" electrical flow, making greater demands on voltage available. Further complicating the problem is the presence of worn spark plugs These require more voltage than new

plugs to fire. The critical function of spark plugs in starting is is shown in the following statistics. Engine with new-ly-installed spark plugs account for only 12 percent of all starting failures. Plugs with 11,500 miles or more usage have 41 percent starting trouble, more than triple the rate of new plugs. So, to decrease your chances of starting trouble this winter, get a tune-up. Keep a Wary Eye On Non-Motorist Motorists are not the only ones who use the streets and highways. Pedestrians often jaywalk, children hidden by parked cars dart into the street, cyclists sometimes ride as if they were in an empty field, and animals give little heed to traffic. All such irresponsible behavior is aggravated during bad weather, when people become more impatient. Keep your eyes moving to spot these potential emergencies. Don’t depend on others to know the safety rules. • DON'T USE GLASS AS A HANDLE to slam door. This undue stress may break the glass.
