Since then, the automobile and the auto industry have fascinated everyone from children to collectors. If you're a motorist, you probably have some curiosity about cars―and you probably know a lot more about them than you think. Test your knowledge with these 10 trivia questions, and then explore the links we provide to a world of auto trivia.

Fuel and Air Filters
 Every time a vehicle's driver presses the gas pedal, they are controlling how much fuel and air the engine takes in. The pedal tells the throttle valve how much air to let in and the computer tells the fuel system how much fuel to deliver. These calculated amounts of air and fuel are typically mixed together before being sucked into the combustion chamber of an engine cylinder.
There the spark plug ignites the mixture, producing the controlled burn that powers the vehicle.
 

  1. Fuel Filter Replacement

  2. It's important for the fuel in the vehicle to be as clean as possible.
    During normal operation, harmful deposits form in your vehicle’s intake, emission and fuel system. A clean fuel system provides optimum performance, improved acceleration and increases gas economy and efficiency. A professional fuel system service helps eliminate surging, sluggishness, and hesitation caused by a dirty fuel system.

  

  1. Air Filter Replacement

  2. The Engine Air Filtration system aids in filtering the air's contaminants and helps to ensure the correct air/fuel mixture.
    The air filter traps dirt, sand, and other particles preventing them from damaging your engine. A clean air filter provides proper air/fuel mixture for easier starts, increased horsepower and improved fuel economy.
