An Essential Guide to Engine Maintenance
Features
New drivers may find themselves quite intimidated by the task of maintaining their engine. Heck, even people who have been driving for several decades aren’t really taking care of their engine properly! It’s important to understand precisely what goes into a good engine check. Of course, proper maintenance of an engine may vary from car to car. There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all engine maintenance procedure. It doesn’t matter if you’re going to perform the maintenance yourself or if you’re going to an expert for help with a problem. If you don’t know precisely what’s going on during an inspection or a tune-up, then you could be spelling trouble for yourself and your car! These are some of the key elements of any tune-up or inspection. The spark plugs car-maintenence-spark-plug Thankfully, revealing a problem with spark plugs doesn’t usually take a lot of involved testing. If there’s a problem, it will often manifest visually. When a spark plug is looking worn, then you know that something is up. The color of the insulator firing noses can often reveal problems. The average engine in good condition will have tan or gray insulator firing noses. If the color is different, then this could indicate that there’s a problem with the spark plugs. Of course, a problem with the spark plugs can also indicate a much larger problem with the engine itself. Spark plugs can be fairly easy to repair or replace without assistance. But if something does go wrong, you may end up doing some serious damage to the entire engine. Transmission car-maintenence-transmission The transmission, technically, isn’t part of your engine. However, the proximity of the two features, plus the way they interact, means that a good check-up will include the transmission. Of course, “it’s your transmission” is often the last thing any driver wants to hear when they have a problem. Going to a trusted maintenance or repair facility is vital when this is the case. For starters, you have to be sure that the problem is with the transmission, because such a repair is often expensive. Messing around the with transmission can also potentially lead to engine problems. Places like AAMCO specialize in transmissions and general car tuneups. Those are the places you want to go. Fuel car-maintenence-fuel How healthy the fuel operations of your engine are is extremely important. I’m guessing that should go without saying, really! But a lot of people don’t really check these things properly. They’ll make sure the oil and coolant levels are okay and assume that the fuel operation is good as long as their car is running. But there are a lot of things here than can result in costly effects of performance. The fuel filter is probably the easiest thing to check. If it’s clogged or dirty, then you need to clean it. The fuel pump and injectors need to be thoroughly tested, as a fault here can cause a breakdown soon enough. A fuel injector buildup problem can cause some severe problems with how the spark plugs fire. All of these things interact, and a problem with one may signal a problem with another.  car-maintenence-edd-china
