Exactly locating ,isolating, and defining the problems cause is usually a good deal of the process in removing or curing the problem.
example,
my Brother,In LAW,
has complained for two weeks about the car missing sporadically, and its lack of power at times, I suggested he bring it by,
but hes too busy, so I suggested adding injector cleaner and replacing the spark plugs, fuel filter,air filter and doing an oil change and checking the ignition timing as a first step.
he calls me today all excited, says the car runs like NEW!
I asked a few questions.....my Brother,In LAW, admits spark plugs, fuel filter,air filter are all original equipment with well over 110K miles.......I just shake my head and try not to say something I might regret........#$$%^%^
sometimes your better off not knowing how other people treat thier cars
