Re: tune up????

10-4 on the spark plugs.
But what is or who does a tune up any more?
Tune up are getting obsolete.
Car manf are pushing or saying 100K tune up.
Which a lot of them do not make to 100K before need ing tune up service.
And some of them if you leave the spark plugs in for a 100K. when you go to change them you hear a big snap and part of plug comes out and other part doe not.
Hardly anyone does a tune. They just wait untill it does not run any more and then say fix it.
The repair book for a tune says replace spark plugs and check compression [ which not many do] and check ign. system firing and replace air filter for a tune up. Fuel filter is extra service.
But if you are going to do a tune up check other stuff while you are at it. Like fuel filter and fuel system belts and hoses battery and cables condition and a general look over.
It will give you trouble free driving if you do.
