An engine that exhibits unusual\u00a0behavior\u00a0(such as frequent stalling, harsh running, or problems starting the vehicle) should be tested and diagnosed BEFORE getting a tune-up. In many cases, running issues such as these are not caused by a lack of tune-ups.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"auto\">How much does a tune-up cost?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Spark plugs and wires can be replaced for $40-$150 or more for a basic tune-up, but a standard tune-up can cost $200-$800 or more.
