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. Chrysler recommends performing a tune-up every 30,000 miles.FYI- They also recommend replacing engine coolant, transmission fluid and filter and fuel filter at this interval as well Step 1 If possible, spray wd-40 at spark plug bases to make spark plugs easier to wrench loose. Then, go get parts; spark plugs, pcv valve-some models have, others don’t, air filter and air intake cleaner and rag- if need
