Tune ups consist of replacing spark plugs, air and fuel filter, checking for fault codes, testing ignition system, check engine compressions and a general look over for vacuum leaks and a good look over the engine bay for any worn or suspect items and checking for fluid leaks, I do this every 20,000Km as a rule. As I live in a rural town we check air filters every service (5,000kms)
