TUNE-N-TEST
One of the best ways to insure efficient operation of your car is to keep
the engine tuned properly. Most Pontiac
dealers
offer a specialized
TUNE-N-TEST service which
includes various
adjustments to the
engine ignition and carburetion systems, maintenance
jobs
on the
electrical system, and a complete test of engine
operations.
This service may be obtained at a nominal cost. While it is not intended
as a
"
cure-all", it will help eliminate
guess
work in locating potential
causes
of engine malfunction and prevent future
inconvenience.
WHEN TO HAVE A TUNE-N-TEST-Due to the differences m
driving habits and driving conditions, it is difficult to set a definite
schedule for this service. Generally speaking, it is good practice for
the average driver to have a Tune-N-Test in the spring and again
in the fall. If you use your car in your work and drive
many
miles,
you
may
want to have this job performed every 10,000 miles.
Your Pontiac dealer's Tune-N-Test service will help find deficiencies
in the
ignition, compression,
and carburetion systems before malfunc-
tions occur, thus saving you inconvenience and expense.

of the Tune-N-Test can be segregated into three groups of operations.

attention every 2,000 miles. The last part of the Tune-N-Test covers
