how to do an auto-mobile tune up?

Question

What does it consist of and what parts

Answer 1

Assuming the vehicle is less than 15 years old, and it is EFI (electronic fuel injection), and the check engine light is NOT illuminated, and it seems to be running "OK", you're typically looking at:

Spark plugs
Air cleaner element if it's dirty
Oil + filter change if it's due
In-cabin air filter if it's due

One should really establish a routine maintenance schedule and then stick to it. Check the manufacturer's specs. Some spark plugs are good for 100,000 miles. Air cleaner elements 10 - 20,000 miles depending on operating condition. Oil and filter changes are typically specified at 5,000, 7,500 or 10,000 miles. (I prefer 5,000 or 7,500.) And don't forget to replace coolant every two years regardless of the climate you're in.

Answer 2

If you go to your local library and ask the info desk about auto repair and maintnence, they will show you on their computers how to get to FREE reference info on cars. You can print out all the stuff you need. Even though I have internet at home, I always use the library for auto info.

Answer 3

get a chilton repair manual. it will tell you how to test and diagnos all the ignition components on your car

generally newer fuel injected cars you need to keep up on things like the o2 sensors and change the oil more often, but other emissions/fuel stuff you just watch for the error codes.

old cars you need to watch the coil, and change the spark plugs more often.

Answer 4

Depends on the make, year, model, milage of the vehicle. Check with your mechanic or local dealer.

Answer 5

It depends on your vehicle. Itb could be new spark plugs, points and condensor, oil and filter changes.
