The primary objective of an engine tuning is to recover or maintain
the performance and original efficiency of the vehicle. This is achieved through the
replacement of parts that wear out or lose their functionality due to normal use
effectiveness in its operation and through a detailed cleaning of some
engine components.
Tuning is part of engine maintenance, especially of the
parts that wear out most quickly due to use because they are the ones that are
exposed to more movement or more dirt. In addition, it is done because
it allows to reduce the quantity and quality of the toxic gases that an engine emits
to the atmosphere while circulating. Finally, leave the car ready for a
safe driving and without risks of mechanical failures in the engine.
When your car is properly tuned, the ignition system,
The fuel, exhaust, and computer function smoothly.
This results in greater efficiency in the combustion chamber,
saving you money when you fill up your car and ensuring that your car
emit a minimum of pollutants. The time frame in which it must be

Internal engine diagnosis
Change spark plugs (according to manufacturer)
PCV valve service
Washing of the acceleration body
Replace fuel filter
Replace air filter
Spark plug wire inspection
Band review
Emission gas analysis
Time adjustment (if adjustable)
Complete maintenance review
Note: The injectors are not washed unless they require it because
the solvent with which they are cleaned considerably wears out the
injector components. Most manufacturers recommend it this way.
Tuning your car helps you consume less gasoline, so that the engine
perform better, to have less emission of pollutants and that the
cold start should be quick, so the tuning of your car must be done in
time and form, depending on the use you give it and the number of hours
daily and distances you travel.
Tuning involves changes of spark plugs, oil and gasoline filters, replacement
of oil and valve cleaning, all of which ensures us to extend the useful life of
motor, but what is better is that it allows to achieve good performance in
gasoline consumption.
If you are one of those who use your car daily, it is advisable to do the
tune-up of your car every two months, but to ensure that the tune-up is
It's correct, it's not excessive to consult with an automotive specialist.
Unfortunately, many mechanics perform this service without taking into account
factors to achieve good tuning.

above all to reduce gasoline consumption and give power to the engine,
so that it feels light.
➢ Carburetor or fuel injection system.
➢ Oil must be of good quality and of specified viscosity, to
new engines the thin oil is ideal, for old engines the oil
thick can help reduce engine noise.
This is what vehicle tuning consists of and the advantages obtained by doing so.
Adequately and in the corresponding periods are good.
It is recommended to perform the tuning service every 10,000 km or six
months.
Materials
Tuning includes:
Replacement of the fuel filter
The cleaning of the fuel in electronic injection systems is of
It is of great importance since the injectors can be obstructed by impurities.
In current vehicles, the fuel is pumped through a filter of
gasoline which is responsible for retaining suspended impurities in the
gasoline. This filter becomes saturated with use, so it must be replaced.
Spark plug replacement
The spark plug is the last step in the ignition circuit. It transmits electrical energy.
that transforms the fuel into work energy. The spark plug takes charge of
voltage from the coil through the distributor and produces a high spark
voltage that ignites the fuel and compressed air mixture inside
each cylinder. With use, the electrodes of the spark plugs undergo wear due to
that it is necessary to replace them.
Injector cleaning
The injectors are solenoid valves controlled by the computer.

The engine injectors are cleaned using an auxiliary system of

impurities present in the injectors preventing the change

keep the engine running efficiently.
Air filter replacement
Internal combustion engines require sufficient oxygen to

sufficient airflow into the engine.
IAC valve cleaning

ADVANTAGES OF TUNINGS
Through tuning, the operating conditions of the
specifically the combustion system of the engine according to the
features and specifications of the manufacturer or improvements made by
experts and this will provide you with the following advantages:
Reset the engine power.
Decrease in gasoline consumption.
It provides greater kilometers per liter performance.
Reduce the levels of pollutant gas emissions.
It allows the engine to run more smoothly.
To achieve this, the elements that become saturated are replaced (air filter.

they also wash the accelerator body and the injectors.
It is recommended to perform a tune-up every 10,000 kilometers or otherwise
every 6 months.
