What happens if my Ford E-250 Econoline spark plugs fail?

Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.

What should I do if I see leaks under my E-250 Econoline?

Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Ford E-250 Econoline. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.

What do hard starts and stops do to my E-250 Econoline engine?

Hard stops and starts can lead to premature wear on your engine’s components. Lighten up that lead foot and opt for steady, fluid starts and stops instead. Your engine (and your passengers!) will thank you.
