two years or 30,000 miles. whichever is first.
All most all cars today have recommended tuneups at 60,000 or 100,000 miles due to the type of spark plugs being used. Consult your owners manual.
You should have a tuneup about every six months as a safe bet. The tuneup replaces the spark plugs and wires, along with different fluids outside of the regular oil replacing every 3000-5000 miles or as needed. A tuneup should not be a wait till something breaks event. If a spark plug goes out for instance, it can go unnoticed until serious damage is done to the engine. I threw a spark plug and wire once on the interstate and it was a nasty ordeal. If you bought the car new and have not got a tuneup yet go get one. If you have owned it less than a year you should be fine but remember the above statements.
Under normal driving conditions a standard spark plug can last aprox 50K, a platinum tip spark plug can last 100K. Spark plug wires aprox 100K. Fuel and air filters aprox 25 to 35K. Transmission service aprox 50K.
When performance and fuel mileage is down.
Needs new plugs, plug wires. Needs a tune up, needs the carburetor adjusted, needs higher octane fuel. It could have a plug wire or wires connected to the wrong one. It could need a new fuel filter.
do a compression test
Generally a tune up consists of spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor(DIS ignition has no cap/rotor), fuel filter, air filter, PCV valve. This is the general type. Others may define tune up another way and include other things. I define it this way. Going a bit further, there can be a timing belt replacement and further. But the general idea of tune up is the necessities I listed in the first line.
It probably needs a tune up and the price varies depending on what part of the country you live. Call a couple of local garages and get estimates Good luckJoe
Not much info to go on but a complete tune up might be in order.

Thinking my car needs a tuneup its jerking and lunging over speeds of 20mph
I've had this problem a couple of times with my 96 Ford Explorer. Either: 1. The car needs a tune up 2. A sensor is out and the car needs a tune up 3. Something is wrong with idle . . . needs to be checked The real answer is that you need to get to a mechanic asap . . . When the idle was loose, the car would die, but when a tune up was needed it ran rough without fully dying . . .
it needs a good old tune up or its got very high millage on it some where near 200000. a tune up can still help
The car needs a tune-up, or the motor mount(s) are bad.
