t Likelihood of optimal engine performance
t Increased engine reliability
t Optimal acceleration
t Less pollutants
New

7.4
Spark Plug Wires
Spark Plug Wires should be inspected at scheduled maintenance
interval.
Technology Fact:
Most newer models no longer use Spark Plug
Wires and instead use plug top coils which are
more reliable.
If I ignore it?
t Poor fuel economy
t Rough idling and poor acceleration
t Arcing or weak spark may cause poor performance
t Damage to the catalytic converter from
unburned fuel
Used


t May result in an increase in fuel economy
t Increased engine performance and
acceleration response
t Increased emissions equipment life
New

7.5
Timing Belt
Refer to the Vehicle Owners Manual for the specific replacement
Technology Fact:
Most newer vehicles have Timing Chains instead of Timing Belts.
Timing Chains are virtually maintenance-free.
If I ignore it?
t Cracking and/or weakening of belt may result.
t The Timing Belt, if weakened, may jump
and cause costly engine damage due to piston to
valve contact
t The belt may eventually break
t Vehicle may not start or run
Used
t Probability of and costly engine damage due to

piston and valve contact
Reduced chance of an emergency,
unexpected breakdown or engine failure
Avoid a costly engine repair
Maintains the proper crankshaft to camshaft
synchronization (proper timing)
Keeps the valve timing (operation)
matched to the piston position
New
Service Tip:
Replace the water pump and serpentine belt at the same time the
Timing Belt is replaced if these parts are removed during the
replacement of a Timing Belt. The small additional cost is
inexpensive insurance for your cars good reliability.

7.6
Fuel Injector
If I ignore it?
t Poor fuel economy
t Poor engine performance
t Rough idling
t Hard starting
t Misfiring
t Stalling
t Pinging and knocking noises
t Clogs or restricts fuel
t Buildup of fuel varnish
Used
t Engine runs lean

t Emissions System problems
t Check Engine light may come on when the
restriction of fuel becomes severe (if equipped)

Improved fuel economy
Restored engine performance
Reduction in noise
Smooth idling
Emissions System performance restored
Fast Fact:
Fuel Injectors deliver fuel to the engine in exactly the right amount
for all engines operating conditions, providing better fuel economy,
performance and emissions.

7.7
Fuel Lines, Hoses

& Connections
Fuel Lines, Hoses & Connections should be inspected at every regular
If I ignore it?
t Poor fuel economy
t Wear and aging of fuel lines
t Lines bulge or restrict
t Lines decay
t Carbon buildup
t Fuel leakage
t Old rubber hoses become hard or soft,
may even bulge, resulting in a leak
Used
t Old rubber hoses may dry, rot or collapse

Improved fuel economy
Enhanced Fuel System performance
Increased driver safety
Technology Fact:
New
With newer models that have Fuel Injector Systems

most of these hoses are lifetime parts.

7.8
Valve Clearance
Refer to the Vehicle Owners Manual for specific inspection intervals.
If I ignore it?
t Probability of poor fuel economy
t Probability of power
t Probability of excessive tappet noise
t Probability of excessive ticking noises
t Possibility of engine surging and stalling
Valve Clearance
t Improved for increased fuel mileage
t Optimum engine performance
t No engine noise

7.9
Air Conditioning
Refrigerant
The A/C System should be inspected at every regular scheduled
If I ignore it?
t Possibility of reduced air conditioning efficiency
t Risk to Air Conditioning System longevity due to
improper care of refrigerant
t Risk of air conditioning compressor failure
Recharging

t Increased reliability of air conditioning
t No damage to Air Conditioning System
internal components

Thermostat
If I ignore it?
t Chances of engine overheating
t Risk of engine pinging and knocking
during acceleration
t Engine may stall due to overheating
t Decreased Engine Cooling System longevity due to
t Risk of major engine failure
t Poor fuel economy
t Improper heating and cooling due
to Thermostat malfunction

t Increased reliability of engine
Used
t Potential for optimal engine performance

t Less risk to engine components
t Long life for engine component
t Increased fuel economy
New

8.2
Water Pump
The Water Pump should be inspected at scheduled
Technology Fact:
Some Cooling System Water Pumps are driven by the timing belt,
while other systems are driven by an accessory drive belt.
If I ignore it?
t Chances of engine to overheat due to
malfunctioning Water Pump
t Increased engine noise
t Increased fluid consumption and fluid loss
t Reduced life of Engine Cooling System
t Risk of major engine failure
Used

t Increased reliability of engine
t Potential for optimal engine performance
t Cooling System performs as intended
t More engine life
