Tune-Ups to Help Your Chevrolet Corvette Run Better

Is it tune-up time? If you tend to ignore your car until something goes wrong, it might be time to change your ways, particularly if you want to keep your 1997 Chevrolet Corvette in tip-top shape. Regular engine tune-ups can optimize your Corvette’s power on the road. Tune-ups help your engine start smoothly and run efficiently, which can mean better fuel economy (a win for you) and lower emissions (a win for the environment). When you take your car for regular engine tune-ups as recommended by Chevrolet, you’re taking vital steps toward keeping your Corvette’s engine running smoother, longer.

Engine Tune-Up for Chevrolet Corvette

Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care location has several options to choose from when it comes to Chevrolet Corvette engine tune-up services. One option is the standard Firestone Tune-Up. The standard Firestone Tune-Up includes new spark plugs (and installation!), a thorough inspection of engine components, and a lifetime parts warranty*. A second service option replaces the air and fuel filter in your Corvette. Yet another service is a fuel system cleaning process, which involves removing varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits that have built up inside the fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate in your Corvette. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Keep in mind that your Corvette's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs. A one-size-fits-all engine tune-up procedure doesn’t necessarily exist. Talk to a technician about your driving style, mileage, and service history to learn more about your vehicle's specific needs.

Where to Get a Chevrolet Corvette Tune-Up

If you’re looking for 1997 Corvette engine tune-up services, head to Firestone Complete Auto Care. Consult your vehicle’s recommended service schedule from Chevrolet, or make a service appointment if you notice any of these symptoms from your engine: decreased gas mileage, "rough" idling or stalling when stopped, an illuminated check engine light on your dashboard, or a knocking sound when the engine is running.

1997 Chevrolet Corvette Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • Will it hurt my Chevrolet Corvette to drive with old spark plugs? When it’s time to replace the spark plugs, don’t delay. These small (but vital!) parts provide the electric spark that your car needs in order to start, and old spark plugs can prevent your car from starting at all. Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so.
  • What does a puddle underneath my Chevrolet Corvette mean? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Chevrolet Corvette. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.
  • Are hard starts and stops bad for my Chevrolet Corvette engine? Hard stops and starts can lead to premature wear on your engine’s components. Lighten up that lead foot and opt for steady, fluid starts and stops instead. Your engine (and your passengers!) will thank you.
  • I need a Chevrolet Corvette tune-up. Where can I get on? At your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care! Whether you need Chevrolet Corvette service, maintenance, or repairs, our technicians can get the job done.
