2020 Chevrolet Trax LT 1.4L Spark Plug & Ignition Coil Pack Replacement in Nashville, TN – Real Mobile Mechanic Experience

Recently, I completed an on-site spark plug and ignition coil pack replacement on a 2020 Chevrolet Trax LT 1.4L in Nashville, Tennessee. The customer contacted Mobile Mechanic Co because the vehicle had developed an engine misfire that was affecting performance and making the vehicle less enjoyable to drive.


Engine misfires should never be ignored. Even if the vehicle is still running, a persistent misfire can reduce fuel economy, increase emissions, and, over time, potentially damage the catalytic converter if left unresolved.



Customer's Concern

The customer reported several symptoms, including:

  • Check engine light illuminated

  • Engine misfiring

  • Rough idle

  • Hesitation during acceleration

  • Reduced engine performance

Although the vehicle was still drivable, the customer wanted the problem diagnosed and repaired before it became more serious.

On-Site Diagnosis in Nashville, TN

After arriving at the customer's location, I performed a complete diagnostic inspection.

The diagnosis included:

  • Retrieving diagnostic trouble codes

  • Inspecting the ignition system

  • Evaluating engine performance

  • Inspecting the spark plugs and ignition coils


The inspection confirmed the engine misfire was related to worn ignition components. To restore reliable performance, I recommended replacing:

  • All spark plugs

  • The complete set of ignition coil packs


Replacing both components together helps ensure consistent ignition performance and reduces the chance of future ignition-related issues caused by worn components of similar age.

The Repair

For this repair, I completed:

  • Removal of the worn spark plugs

  • Installation of new spark plugs

  • Replacement of all ignition coil packs

  • Inspection of ignition wiring and connectors

  • Clearing diagnostic trouble codes

  • Final engine performance verification

  • Road-test confirmation


After the repair:

✅ Engine misfire eliminated

✅ Smooth idle restored

✅ Improved acceleration

✅ Check engine light resolved

✅ Engine running properly again

The customer was able to drive away with noticeably smoother engine performance and restored drivability.

What Causes an Engine Misfire?

An engine misfire occurs when one or more cylinders fail to ignite the air-fuel mixture properly.

Common causes include:

  • Worn spark plugs

  • Failed ignition coils

  • Fuel injector problems

  • Vacuum leaks

  • Low fuel pressure

  • Internal engine issues

Professional diagnostics help identify the actual cause before unnecessary parts are replaced.


Common Signs of Worn Spark Plugs or Ignition Coils

Some of the most common symptoms include:

  • Check engine light

  • Rough idle

  • Engine shaking

  • Hesitation during acceleration

  • Reduced fuel economy

  • Loss of engine power

  • Difficulty starting

Ignoring these symptoms can allow an ongoing misfire to overheat the catalytic converter, which may lead to more expensive repairs.
