Your engine has worked solidly during the hot days of summertime. With fall approaching, now is a good time to clean out the sludge left in your car from summertime before your car has to go through winter. How do you do that, you ask? Schedule an engine diagnostic test. But what can a car diagnostic test tell you, you are wondering?
With the use of a specific computer, an engine diagnostic test can analyze the total performance of your vehicle and determine whether any adjustments are required on any of the operating systems. A problem can be identified exactly before they become major problems so that your auto mechanic doesn’t have to guess what kind of repair is needed for your vehicle.
A car diagnostic test can indicate issues associated with many components and systems of your vehicle. The age of your vehicle, the number of miles on the odometer, and the maintenance history will determine what your auto mechanic includes in the tune up service. Normally though, a car tune up should include most of the following items:
- Spark plugs
- Fuel pump and filter
- Fuel injectors
- Engine timings
- PCV valve
- Points and condenser.
About once a year, schedule an engine diagnostics to uncover minor issues that can’t be seen. A diagnostics test is also good if you want to inspect out a used car that you may be thinking of buying.
