Always install a battery at
the proper rating the car manufacturer specifies.
Hands clean
Take off all watches and
jewelry when working with a battery. These can cause burns if they
contact the battery posts.
Well done
To clean the battery case use
mild detergent and moist paper towels.
:: Spark Plugs ::
Plug wires
Always inspect the plug
wires
because misfires not only hurt the engine's performance, but voltage
spikes may damage the ignition module.
Every 30.000 miles
All spark plugs should be
removed and checked every 30,000 miles, even if your car is "low
maintenance”. This prevents the plugs from seizing in the block, causing
expensive repairs down the road.
