Air Induction System

The air induction system provides a path for air to enter the combustion chamber. Proper air flow is critical for quick start up, smooth idling, acceleration, and overall engine performance.

Why do I need to clean my Air Induction System?

Heat causes buildup of carbon and varnish in your vehicle’s engine, and the deposits act as a sponge that soak up fuel, restrict and misdirect proper air flow. The results are poor engine efficiency, high stress on critical engine components and higher levels of harmful emissions.

How does an Air Induction Cleaning help my vehicle?

At Precision Tune Auto Care, we introduce a liquid cleaning agent into the air induction system. This removes the carbon deposits and restores proper air flow into the combustion chamber, which will:

• Increase fuel efficiency.

• Increase performance.

• Reduce harmful emissions.

• Extend engine life.

• Increase catalytic converter efficiency.

Fuel Injection System

Today’s modern engines are all fuel injected. Fuel injection cleaning is a necessary maintenance service required on today’s cars, trucks and SUVs.

Why do I need to clean my fuel injectors?

Carbon deposits form on the fuel injectors during normal driving conditions. The injectors – particularly the injector nozzles – exist in an environment where tremendous heat is generated. The burning of the fuel leaves carbon deposits on piston valves and fuel injector nozzles that interfere with the spray pattern and flow of fuel. Cleaning the fuel injectors on a regular scheduled maintenance program removes these deposits.

Timing belt replacement

​

Timing belts began to replace chains in the late 70’s and early 80’s as auto manufacturers were researching ways to produce lighter and less expensive vehicles. Lighter weight meant increased mileage. There are many questions that are frequently asked about timing belts. Learning about what belts do and when they should be replaced will help you in keeping your vehicle running while avoiding costly breakdowns. Keep in mind that not all cars have a timing belt. Timing chains are making a comeback due to durability so be sure to check your vehicle’s manufacturer guide to determine if you have a belt or chain.

 

What Does a Timing Belt Do?

 

The timing belt keeps the camshaft and crankshaft turning at the correct rate. The crankshaft moves pistons up for compression and exhaust cycles, while the pistons move down for power and intake cycles. Depending on the vehicle make, a timing belt will also run the water pump, oil pump and injection pump. The camshaft controls the opening and closing of the valves for intake and exhaust. The valves must open at the correct time to allow fuel to enter the chamber and then close to allow for compression. If the timing cycle is off, fuel may not enter the cylinder or could escape through an open exhaust valve. If the valves are not fully closed during compression, the majority of the engine’s power will be lost.

​

​

When Should I Change My Timing Belt?

 

Many car owners may wonder how often to replace a timing belt. The old rule was every 60,000 miles. As technology has improved, many manufacturers recommend intervals up to 100,000 miles. To be safe you should check what the vehicle’s manufacturer recommends and stay within that mileage. Faulty timing belt symptoms include a loss of power, loss of fuel economy, misfiring and engine vibration. Timing belt noise is no longer one of the most noticeable indicators of potential belt failure. When the vehicles had timing chains they would become very noisy as they loosened and began to chatter. Now that vehicle manufacturers are using belts you are less likely to hear when it becomes loose or cracks. Belts can create a mild chatter sound but nothing in comparison to the sounds of a timing chain.

 

You can also answer the question of when to replace a timing belt if you are having other work done that requires the removal of the timing belt cover and belt. In most vehicles, the belt must be removed if the water pump must be replaced. Reinstalling a used belt is not a good idea. The belt will have stretched and getting the timing set exactly right is difficult. The majority of the cost of belt or water pump replacement is the labor. You should invest in a new belt. This rule also applies when you are replacing a timing belt. You should consider having the water pump replaced at the same time. If the pump is near the end of its expected life cycle, you will save on the cost of the second service with a high labor cost.
