filter regularly your car needs to breathe just like you your car's air filter plays a crucial role in keeping dust debris and contaminants out of the engine if your air filter is clogged it starves your engine of oxygen leading to sluggish acceleration lower fuel economy and even misfires the good new is this is one of the cheapest and easiest fix if your filter looks dark and dirty replace it immediately most air filters cost under $20 and take just minutes to change to change the air filter firstly you have to locate it it is usually found
in a black plastic Box near the engine or on the side of the engine bay now open the air filter housing by unclipping the the latches or removing screws and carefully lift the air filter out of the housing and install the new filter secure the cover with Clips or screws if your filter is lightly Dusty then you may also clean it using compressed air to clean the air filter hold it at a slight angle to prevent damage and blow compressed air from the inside out to remove tra dirt cleaning your air filter regularly can help
improve engine performance and extended it lifespan with a clean air filter your engine will breathe better respond faster and even get better gas mileage if you drive in Dusty conditions it is recommended to check your filter every 10,000 Miles number two changing engine oil we all know oil changes are crucial but did you know using the wrong type of oil can actually make your engine struggle many drivers use thicker oil thinking it offers better protection but in reality it can slow down engine movement reducing efficiency and power always use the manufacturer recommended oil grade as
it's specifically designed for your engine's needs and here's a pro tip use full synthetic oil unlike conventional oil synthetic flows better at all temperatures protects against sludge buildup and reduces friction inside the engine making it run cooler and smoother regular oil changes are crucial to keeping your engine healthy dirty oil loses its Effectiveness and can cause increased wear on engine components number three using fuel injector cleaner fuel injectors spray a precise amount of fuel into the combustion chamber but over time they can get clogged with carbon deposits and dirt when this happens fuel does mix
properly with air leading to poor combustion rough idling reduced power and increased fuel consumption but here is the good news for this you don't need a costly repair to Clan your fuel injector simple use of a high-quality fuel injector cleaner can make a huge different and make your car running efficiently if your engine has persistent issues with rough running or hesitation a professional fu fuel system cleaning may be needed here is how to do it firstly buy a fuel injector cleaner bottle from a trusted brand keep in mind some vehicles have specific recommendations on which
fuel additives are safe to use check your manual or fuel filler cap to ensure compatibility with your engine now check the fuel level ensure your fuel tank is nearly empty or at least below half full this helps the cleaner mix a effectively with fresh fuel open the fuel cap and pour the entire bottle of cleaner into the tank most bottles treat up to 20 gallons of fuel so check the label immediately after adding the cleaner fill up the tank with the recommended fuel for your vehicle this helps mix the cleaner with the fuel and ensures
proper distribution throughout the system drive your car gently for the first 50 to 100 miles after driving few hundred miles you will notice an amazing Improvement in your car performance and fuel efficiency with time the fuel injector cleaner properly removes carbon buildup allowing fuel to spray evenly for better combustion and improved throttle response number four cleaning or replacing the throttle body the throttle body regulates the amount of air entering the engine and plays a critical role in maintaining proper air fuel mixture over time it can become coated with carbon deposits dirt and grime which restrict
air flow and disturb air fuel mixture in the combustion chamber leading to poor combustion a clogged throttle body led to rough idling stalling and reduced fuel efficiency but the good news is the throttle body cleaning or replacement is not a tough job you can easily do it at your home first of all Loc Lo at the throttle body which is usually located between the air intake and intake manifold loosen the clamps and remove the air intake tube to access the throttle plate also disconnect all the electrical connections to the throttle body after removing the throttle
body inspect it properly if it is dirty clean it using a throttle body cleaner spray throttle body cleaner directly onto the throttle plate and surrounding walls let let it sit for 10 to 15 seconds to dissolve the carbon buildup now use a microfiber cloth to wipe away the loosened Grime if buildup remains use a soft bristle toothbrush or nylon brush to scrub gently allow the throttle body to air dry completely before reattaching components reconnect the air intake hose and tighten the clamps securely after proper installation start the car and let it idle for a a
few minutes this helps the engine control unit to adjust to the cleaned throttle body if cleaning doesn't improve performance you need to replace your throttle body after cleaning you will notice an immediate Improvement in your engine performance fuel efficiency and acceleration number five cleaning your mass airflow sensor did you know that a dirty mass airflow sensor can make your engine feel weak and unresponsive this tiny sensor measures the air coming into your engine and sends this information to the engine control unit the engine control unit uses this data to adjust the air fuel ratio but
over time this sensor gets covered in dust and grime causing incorrect reading to the engine computer which leads to poor combustion the result poor acceleration rough idling and even decreased fuel efficiency but the fix of this issue is incredibly simple just use MAF sensor cleaner spray let's start cleaning turn off the engine and let it cool disconnect the battery's negative terminal to prevent ECU issues now locate the MF sensor which is typically found inside the air intake duct between the air filter box and the throttle body unplug the MAF sensors electrical connector carefully gently remove
remove the MAF sensor and place it on a clean dry surface hold the MAF sensor upright and spray the cleaner directly onto the sensor elements apply 10 to 15 short bursts of cleaner now let the cleaner evaporate completely don't try to use compressed air cotton swabs or Rags they can damage the delicate elements inside the sensor once the sensor is completely dry place it back into the intake duct and secure it with screws or clamps reconnect the battery's negative terminal if you had disconnected it this small trick can instantly restore lost power improve throttle response
and prevent engine hesitation most people never clean their MAF sensor but trust me you'll feel the difference the next time you hit the gas there you have it follow these simple steps and your engine will run smoother stronger and longer than ever before let me know in the comments which tip helped you the most and if you have any secret tricks of your own and before you go hit that subscribe button to fuel up the confidence I'll see you in the next one drive safe and keep that engine running like a beast
