A car air filter allows clean air into the engine and prevents harmful contamination from dirt and dust. Over time the air filter will get dirty and clogged with debris which will affect engine performance. The following signs will warn you that an air filter replacement needs to be performed to keep your engine running smoothly. 1. The Check Engine Light Is On The check engine light comes on for a variety of reasons. A dirty and clogged air filter could be the cause. Air intake issues for a dirty air filter will cause deposits to accumulate. This will negatively impact engine performance and trigger the check engine light. more 2. The Air Filter Is Dirty When the check engine light comes on, perform a visual inspection of your air filter. A clean air filter will be a white or off-white color, but if you hold it up to the light, and you see dirt and dust, and it's a brownish color, it's best to replace it as soon as possible. 3. Decrease in Fuel Efficiency A common sign of a dirty air filter is reduced gas mileage. When not enough clean air flows through the filter, your car may burn more gas to produce enough power. If you get the air filter replaced, you may notice an increase in fuel efficiency. 4. Your Car Is Slow to Respond and Jerking When you press down on the gas and your car is sluggish to respond, and you notice jerking movements, not enough clean air is getting through to the engine. The problem may be easily solved by replacing the air filter. 5. Strange Engine Sounds You know what your car sounds like, and when you hear noises that you are not familiar with, it's always a reason for concern. When your car's engine is in good running condition, it will pleasantly purr. When you hear popping or coughing noises coming from under the hood, a dirty air filter could be the culprit and could possibly be polluting the spark plugs. Get the air filter replaced as soon as possible before a spark plug is damaged. 6. Hard Starts, Rough Idling, and Misfiring When the air filter is clogged and not enough clean air reaches the engine, unburned fuel residue can pollute the spark plugs. When your spark plugs are fouled, it reduces the spark necessary for the combustion process, and your engine will misfire. It will be hard to start your car, and the engine will idle roughly. 7. Strong Smell of Gasoline When you get a whiff of gasoline when you start your car, a clogged air filter might be to blame. You will smell a strong gasoline odor when the unburnt gas from a lack of air caused by a dirty air filter escapes through the tailpipe. 8. Black Smoke and Flames from the Tailpipe When the air filter is dirty and prevents clean air from reaching the engine, the fuel may not burn off as it should during the combustion process. This will cause heated fuel to leak out of the tailpipe. You will see black sooty smoke and might even see flames from the tailpipe and hear popping sounds. The moment you notice smoke or flames coming from your car's tailpipe, take your car to your technician immediately.

So, you have recently moved to Maryland and are wondering how to go about registering your car. The Maryland car registration process is quite similar to those of most other states. All you have to do is gather all the relevant documents and visit the Maryland Vehicle Administration. Find out some car registration tips below! Register Your Vehicle as a New Maryland Resident If you have just moved to Maryland with your car, you have 60 days to register it under MVA. Delaying your registration interferes with your eligibility for tax credits. The registration process is pretty straightforward. All you have to do is submit your previous car ownership title alongside other relevant documentation. more Register an Out-of-State Vehicle in Maryland Maryland also requires most non-residents with vehicles here for over 60 days to get registered. In this case, the MVA will issue you a non-resident permit. From being a student at an accredited school to a temporary employee working in Maryland, there are many ways to be eligible for this permit. Find out if you will qualify! Re-Register a Salvaged Vehicle in Maryland You can still re-register your car if it survives an accident or even flood damages. As long as it is okay with your insurance company, the repaired car will often be marked as a salvaged vehicle. For salvaged vehicles, the registration process will require you to have a certificate of salvage. The MVA will not register your car unless it undergoes a satisfactory inspection to establish its state. You can get a salvaged vehicle inspection at any authorized car dealer in Maryland. Transfer a Vehicle Between Family Members When transferring your vehicle's ownership to your family member, you will not have to pay any excise tax. However, you may need to prepare the necessary titling funds. All you may need is your signed-over title, insurance papers, a filled-out application for Maryland Gift Certification, and a titling fee. Note that you can register the car afresh to the new owner as soon as you hand in the documents relinquishing your ownership. In this case, you may then follow the proper registration steps by paying the registration and license fees. Although the entire registration process may seem daunting at first, it may shock you to find out how easy it is. If you find it hard to visit the Maryland Vehicle Administration offices physically, you can send in your application through the mail.

Do you have some vacation time coming, and you’re thinking about taking a road trip? A Maryland road trip could be the perfect addition to your travel plans. But before you hop in the car, there are a couple of steps you can take to make sure your trip is smooth and enjoyable for all involved. 1. Pack a Snack Bag Packing snacks, and maybe a small cooler with cold drinks, will keep you and your traveling buddies fueled and hydrated. Resist the temptation to load up on sugary snacks, particularly if young travelers are in the car. String cheese, nuts, protein bars, rice cakes, and even hard-boiled eggs for the cooler are all excellent options. more 2. Plan Breaks Depending on the length of your trip, you may want to plan one or more stops that allow you to stretch your legs and use the bathroom. There are also sites all over the state that offer the opportunity for a longer break. A picnic at one of the parks along the Chesapeake Bay or a stop at one of the historic sites around Baltimore will get you out of the car for a few hours and add enrichment to your trip. 3. Make Sure You Know Where You're Headed Many of today's vehicles come equipped with GPS, and most smartphones have that capability as well. But it's a good idea to have a map in the car. That way even if you lose Wi-Fi or your smartphone battery is getting low, you'll still be able to get where you're going. Paper maps also make for a fun geography lesson for kids. 4. Pick Out Some Tunes for Your Travel The perfect playlist will make your trip more fun, and it can also help keep you entertained. Make sure to involve every member of your traveling party as you plan your road trip music. 5. Prepare for Comfort There are a couple of steps that can be taken to ensure the comfort of everyone in the car. First, consider throwing a blanket and a hand-held fan in the cabin of the vehicle. These can be used by passengers who are overly cold or warm. And if you're the one behind the wheel, pay attention to your posture and how you're sitting. Try not to slouch, consider using a small pillow to support your lower back, and use cruise control, which allows your feet to rest squarely on the floor of the vehicle. 6. Develop a Strategy for Staying Alert If you're driving for an extended period of time, look for ways to stay fresh and alert. Keeping the windows cracked open for fresh air, chewing gum, singing along with your music, and conversing with your passengers are all ideal ways to stay focused and alert.

From the city to the shore to historic sites, there's plenty to explore. Stop by DARCARS Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM of New Carrollton to get your vehicle in great shape for your next road trip.

Your fuel economy can get affected by the way you drive. Rapidly accelerating from a full stop or driving at high speeds increases your vehicle's gas consumption, whereas maintaining a consistent speed and heeding posted speed limits can yield a more efficient drive that allows you to maximize each tank. In order to get better gas mileage and make fewer stops at gas stations around Maryland, take these tips into account. 1. Take Trip Planning Seriously Before heading out for your errands, road trip, or daily commute, plan the exact route you will take. Minimizing backtracking and unnecessary turnarounds will add up to both time and gas saved. Avoid peak traffic times and shop in stores or locations that take care of more than one of your errands at a time, such as choosing a shopping center with your bank branch attached, or a grocery store that also sells the pet items you need. more 2. Drive Carefully and Conservatively Avoid quick starts, hard braking, and rapid acceleration, all of which can lower your fuel economy on the highway by 15 to 30 percent. Engaging in these behaviors in stop-and-go traffic can decrease your fuel economy by 10 to 40 percent. So, when driving in heavy traffic, it's best to slowly follow the flow of traffic instead of speeding to close every gap that appears. 3. Avoid Idling Excessively Roughly one quarter to one half gallon of fuel per hour is consumed by your car engine while idling. A warm engine only takes about 10 seconds worth of fuel to restart, meaning that shutting off your engine when it's safe to do so is beneficial if you will be stopped for more than a minute. 4. Use Toll Road Passes Where applicable, take advantage of toll road passes. These express lanes save fuel by eliminating the need to slow down at toll booths as well as minimize the use of braking and accelerating since there are typically fewer cars and better-flowing traffic in these lanes. 5. Take Advantage of Cruise Control Driving at constant speeds saves gas. When possible, and safe to do so, utilize the cruise control feature in your vehicle. However, take care not to use cruise control on icy or slippery roads as the potential to lose control of your vehicle is greater in these particular road conditions. 6. Anticipate Road and Weather Conditions Paying attention to the traffic ahead and any fluctuating weather can help you anticipate what you will need your vehicle to do. If you notice many brake lights ahead, take your foot off of the accelerator to give your vehicle the chance to slow down on its own instead of braking hard at the last second. Keep Your Car Performance Great with Routine Service in New Carrollton When you begin applying these mileage-saving suggestions, you'll begin to notice how much money you're really saving, even when fuel prices fluctuate. Come by DARCARS Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM of New Carrollton today and see what fuel-efficient vehicles we have available that can help you save even more. Also, remember to schedule routine service for your car to ensure that it stays operating at its best.

An optional 7-inch digital cluster display gives information about the truck without forcing your eyes off the road.

Configurable Seats The second-row seats can be configured in a variety of ways, including three-across to comfortably accommodate all your passengers. Forty-three inches of rear-seat legroom provide plenty of space so that any journey is enjoyable. Alternatively, you can increase cargo-carrying options by folding the single left rear seat.

Coming in either passenger or cargo van variants, the ProMaster® features a wide variety of configurations to suit every need and trade, including high and low roof models, a choice of wheelbase length, and special interior kits dedicated to a particular trade or need. Read on for our buyer's guide to this spectacular van. Overview The 2021 update for the ProMaster® has seen increased safety equipment, including a full suite of driver-assist technologies. Chief amongst these is a digital rearview mirror that will be especially useful on those variants of the ProMaster® that don't have rear windows. Uniquely amongst the cargo van segment, RAM has opted for a front-wheel-drive configuration as its only available layout. This bold proposition adds to the possible cargo space by allowing a lower rear floor. more However, this hasn't meant a drop in powertrain capacity.
