Why Is My Suzuki Khyber Struggling to Start? Could It Be a Spark Plug Issue?

I’ve noticed that my Khyber is hard to start, especially in the morning o r after the car has been idle for a while. Could this be related to a spark plug problem? How do I know if the spark plugs need replacement?

If your Khyber is struggling to start, particularly after the car has been sitting for a while, faulty spark plugs could indeed be the cause. Spark plugs are responsible for igniting the air-fuel mixture in the engine, and if they are dirty, worn, o r damaged, it can affect the ignition process.

Signs Spark Plugs Are the Issue:

Difficulty starting the engine, especially in cold weather

Weak o r inconsistent spark at the plugs

Engine misfires during startup

What You Should Do:

Inspect your spark plugs for wear, corrosion, o r carbon buildup. They should have a light tan o r gray color on the electrode, not black o r wet.

Replace spark plugs every 20,000-30,000 km to maintain optimal performance.

Cost of replacement: Spark plugs typically cost between PKR 300–600 per plug, and labor can add PKR 500–1,000 for installation.
