How Do You Tune Up A 2005 PT Cruiser?
How to “tune-up” a 2005 PT Cruiser. A “tune-up” today is quite simple. Unless there is a problem such as a check engine light, there will be no adjustments needed, although a high-mileage engine may need a check of the timing. This and any other diagnostics and adjustments are best done by a professional mechanic with the proper scanner to check the timing and engine control functions. However, unlike older cars, newer cars do not need tune-up adjustments unless there is a recall or repair. An ordinary maintainance tune-up consists simply of replacing spark plugs, PCV valve and air filter.
