The Importance Of Engine Tuning
A car’s engine is a complex piece of machinery that can be difficult to tune. But when you know what you’re doing, it’s not nearly as difficult as you may think. There are many different things that go into an engine tune up, but here are some of the basics:
When should I do my next tune up?
It depends on how often you drive your vehicle and how much stress it is under while driving. If you don’t drive much or only use your car for short trips around town then there isn’t much need for an immediate tune-up; however if your vehicle sees frequent long distance travel or heavy loads (such as carrying passengers), then regular maintenance is recommended to prevent damage from occurring due to overuse conditions such as overheating caused by excessive idling periods during traffic jams which could lead up towards serious problems later down the road if left unchecked.”
How To Perform The Tune Up
- Remove the spark plugs, clean them and reinstall
- Check the spark plug gap
- Replace the air filter if necessary.
- Replace the fuel filter.
- Check engine oil level and change if necessary (DO NOT OVERFILL). * Check brake fluid level and change if necessary (DO NOT OVERFILL).

With the right tools and knowledge about how engines work, anyone can perform simple tasks like changing spark plugs or oil filters in their own garage.
