Emergency Parts

Most of us possibly own a vehicle that doesn't require much maintenance and when it does we probably keep up with our maintenance schedules right? Well for those of us who don't or drive older vehicles you might consider keeping some parts in your trunk or stow away compartment that could keep you from being stranded. I know...... that's what emergency roadside service is for and that's great but, if your like me a DIY kinda guy with an older vehicle you may want to have some emergency parts available. A part that will leave you stranded without warning or any signs of going bad is an ignition module or sometimes called an ignitor. This part controls the spark of the spark plugs and when it goes bad the spark plugs don't fire. Your vehicle will act like it wants to start when you turn the key but it won't. The other parts are Drive Belts and Radiator Hoses along with some duct tape or hose tape. Most vehicles have Drive Belts and Only one turning everything, the alternator, power steering pump, air conditioning, etc..If this belt snaps off all of these components stop functioning and will force you to the side of the road.
