Air Filters

To create power, your Toyota's engine uses a combination of air and gasoline in the combustion chamber. Your air filter is responsible for ensuring the air used in the process is free from contaminants that could cause damage to your engine. It also ensures that the right amount of air reaches the engine for an efficient combustion process. Like any other part, the engine air filter is something that can become worn out and dirty over time, so it should be replaced according to a regular maintenance schedule. Driving in certain areas might cause you to have to replace your air filter sooner than you thought. You can pay attention to different signs it might be time to replace yours. A restricted air supply might cause your engine to misfire. Dirt and soot from the filter can settle on the spark plug and prevent it from generating enough power to get your engine to start efficiently. You might also notice a decrease in fuel economy. Your Toyota's engine might have to compensate for a lack of air by using more fuel to generate the right amount of power. This can result in a drop in fuel efficiency.
