4 Signs Your 2023-2026 Chevrolet Colorado Needs Ignition and Engine Management Work

Most ignition and engine management problems announce themselves well before they strand anybody. On a 2023-2026 Colorado, these are the ones worth acting on.

1. A rough idle that smooths out above 2,000 rpm

It rarely gets better on its own, and it usually gets louder before it gets expensive. Start by looking at crankshaft position sensors.

2. A misfire code that follows the coil when you swap it to another cylinder

This one is usually early, which is good news, because it is cheap to fix early. Start by looking at crankshaft position sensors.

3. Fuel economy that drifts down a mile or two per gallon over a few months

It rarely gets better on its own, and it usually gets louder before it gets expensive. Start by looking at spark plugs.

4. A check engine light that flashes under load, which means raw fuel is going into the converter

This one is usually early, which is good news, because it is cheap to fix early. Start by looking at spark plugs.

What to Do Next

Iridium plugs on most modern GM engines are a 90,000 to 100,000 mile item. Coils are replaced on failure, not on a schedule.

The same nameplate can have three different engines in one model year. VIN is the only reliable way to get the right plug.

If you are not sure which version fits your build, send us the VIN and we will confirm before anything ships. Shop our Chevrolet OEM parts catalog or search for Colorado spark plugs.
