Re: How to start DIY
It's all hard if you have to ask.
Fuel injector cleaning is pouring a can of injector cleaner into the gas
tank, or having it pumped directly into the injector rail.
Engine decarb is where you suck a cleaner through an unused vacuum port on
the intake manifold. Transmission fluid works good here, but makes a huge
cloud of smoke that your neighbors may not appreciate. Water seems to work
as well, and creates fewer complaints.
I'm not going to talk about an oil change. If you can't do this without
asking, you should not be doing any of this.
Tire rotation. See my comments on the oil change.
Manual transmission service is a bit of a PIA. You need to remove a drain
plug from the bottom of the transmission and a fill plug from the side. When
the draining is done, put the drain plug back in and fill through thte fill
hole until the fluid spills out, then put the fill hole plug back in.
Spark plugs are right up there with rotating tires and changing oil -- if
you gotta ask ...
