Tune ups, maintain your best

Installed spark plug wires

A tune up can make the difference between 30 MPG's or 20 MPG's. Regular tune ups also keep your engine running its best and keeping your Mustangs as fast and effcient as possible. A tune up is a fairly easy process that requires minimal experience, but has a huge payoff at the end of the day. The three main items you will be inspecting while doing a tune up is your spark plugs, spark plug witres, and your ignition source. (distributer, coil pack, caps on coils) First things first how do you know your Mustang needs a tune up. If your vehicle has been running sluggish, has a rough idle, has a noticable cylinder misfire, been consuming more fuel than mormal, or has been more than 2 years since your last tune up, its time to get under the hood and get some new spark. When doing a tune up spark plugs and wire always should be bought together so that the age at the same rate. When purchasing your spark plugs and wires there are numerous options to choose from, and depending on your Mustang and your desired performance level, you choose the option that best fits you. Now its not nessasary to replase your coils evertime you do a tune up, but if you replace your spark plugs and wires and your idle is still rough, or you still have a cylinder misfire, it may be nessasary to replace the coils. A normal tune up costs around a hundred dollars for plugs and wires, and coils are usually an additional hundred dollars. In the end a tune up more than pays for itself.
