Can You Remember When Your Engine Was Tuned Up And Serviced?
Can you remember when your engine was tuned up and serviced? If you cannot it is most likely due for a tune up even if you think the engine sounds okay.
Today´s electronic ignition and fuel injection systems will allow the engine to run fairly smooth even though components are badly worn. This is the on-board computer system at work. Once the computer system sensors reach their outer perimeters then the engine will start to run poorly. At this point the computer system can lose sensor references and go into back up mode. To an engine this is like a total "Y2K" nightmare. The check engine light will illuminate to warn the driver and no matter what you have planned your vehicle will take precedence because it will not drive dependably. A trip or tow to a repair facility is imminent.
Preventative checkups are a simple cost effective way to prevent driveability problems To assure reliability make an appointment with A Street Automotive to get that check up for your automobile.
