David Working On A Diesel Truck Tune UpDriving a car on a regular basis means you must also take regular care of that car, if you want it to stay reliable. And that doesn’t just mean washing and waxing it every weekend. No, there are a number of other maintenance requires for keeping your automobile in tip top shape and getting the most life out of it. If you look in your owner’s manual, you will find that it is recommended that you take your car in for a tune up every specified amount of miles (from 10,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on your make and model). However, there are other ways to tell when it is time to tune up your car. What signs should you look for? Here are three tips to help you know when your car needs a tune up:

Stalling. If you find that your car is stalling regularly (or even sporadically), take note of the nature and circumstances of the stall in order to help your mechanic identify what the exact cause of the problem is. For example, does your car stall when it’s hot, or cold? Is it maybe stalling only when your air conditioning is running? Stalling can be caused by a number of things, but chances are your spark plugs may need to be replaced or adjusted. These are all issues that are addressed with a standard truck or car tune up.

Hard starts. When you have a hard time getting your car to start, chances are your vehicle needs some maintenance. Hard starts are one of the most common auto problems there are – caused by anything from a faulty electronic component to an issue with the ignition system – and can often be cured with a tune up.

Loss in power. Have you noticed that your car seems to be struggling to maintain the power that used to come naturally, especially when travelling up steep inclines? If so, it may be that you need to take your automobile in for a tune up. A loss in power is often caused by a dirty fuel filter – a problem that is easily combated with a standard tune up.
