Default Question about a tune-up

this may sound dumb but i need help/advice on what/where some of the stuff is on my car to give it a tune up. i know a few things about cars but not enough too give my car a tune up. if someone could direct me to a website with pictures or a diagram it would be really helpful.

p.s. if your laughing all i have to say is laugh it up fuzzball. you gotta start somewhere(lol)

what in particular are you looking for? your best bet would be to pick up a service manual.

if you cant afford a helm's manual,...run to your local autozone and pick up a hayne's manual for your car for about 14 bucks,..it tells you how to do a tuneup and alot of other things in that book,..its not as good as a helm's but its better than nothing

Ya, what do you want to know how to do?

I have a Chilton's manual for my car and for my motor (they're different so...). Not the best, but they help out a lot. That's where I would start. Also check out the DIY section out here. :goodjob:

Here you go ! check all the fluids . When changing the oil make sure you change the oil filter in the back of the motor .
