Unexpected lower gas mileage
If your car is suddenly getting lower gas mileage than it did before, this is a sign that the car may need a tune up. On the average a car gets about twenty miles per gallon. If the vehicle has dirty fuel filters, bad spark plugs, or bad fuel injectors (all of which are checked during a tune up) then the performance of your vehicle will be affected.
Difficulty starting the car
When the car is started, does it have trouble cranking or turning over? You may notice that the “Check Engine” light is on also. Both of these problems could be signs that the car needs a tune up. Bad spark plugs can deter the electrical flow through the currents, which would affect the vehicle.
Squealing noises when turning the steering wheel
Low fluids can affect how the steering wheel turns. The steering wheel may be stiff when turning it or there may be appear to be a loud, squeal as the wheel is turned to the right or left. Keep in mind, if after the fluids are filled to the appropriate levels and the problem still occur, there could be a leak in the container.” To read the entire article click here.
