A Key Component of a Tune Up
What Is a Tune-Up?
When you hear about a tune-up, the term actually refers to more than one service. Rather, it’s a package of related points that make your vehicle run better and more efficiently once completed. A tune-up usually consists of replacing wearable components related to internal combustion. These can include the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) valve, filters (both air and fuel), oxygen sensor(s), and spark plug wiring. The spark plugs are cleaned and replaced if necessary. Other preventive services that are typically performed again at this time are the oil change and fluid checks/top-offs.

Although the spark plug is a tiny part compared to your vehicle as a whole, it serves a crucial function. As you might guess from its name, the spark plug gives the little electrical jolt that allows ignition during the internal combustion process. It represents the beginning of a small controlled explosion that moves the piston, generating the energy to power your car. Simply stated, no spark plug, no ignition, and no operable vehicle. Spark plugs fire over and over, lasting a long time. However, they may eventually show signs of wear. Your technician will clean them at the tune-up to remove any carbon buildup. Also, there should be a gap between the main body of the plug and the metal tip across which the electrical current jumps. If this tip is worn down, the spark plug should be replaced at a tune-up.
