Italian tune-up

1) remove rearview mirror (whats behind you doesnt count...it aint gonna pass you)
2) Throw all regard to State Law out with rearview mirror.
3) Place right foot on accelartor pedal.
4) Grip steering wheel firmly with both hands.(it is advised that the drivers seat is positioned in optimum 'driving position').
5) Push accelartor pedal to the floor....ALL the way.
6) Hold pedal in floor location for as long as you can afford it.
7) If License points or financial situation of Driver limits time period accelartor pedal can remain held in floor position, ensure vehicle travels in excess of 200klm at highway speed, or is DRIVEN through mountianous terrain ensuring throttle engages wide-open setting on many occasions.

Quick description:
STAND on it and BLOW the gunk out.

The longer the pedal meets the floor, or the length of the highway speed throttle setting, the better.

Hoping this has been of assistance and my translation from Italian to English was proficient.

Cheers.

For cars with cruise control, you can just engage it on a downhill section at a speed the car cannot get to on the flat. Continue on the flat & uphill for at least 10 minutes. When you have finished the engine needs to be cooled down at a fast idle, especially if it has a turbo. You will probably hear all sorts of clicking & clanking noises as the engine cools down. Any oil leaks will probably be smoking.
