Will it hurt my Chevrolet Nova to drive with old spark plugs?

Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Chevrolet’s recommendations.

What does a puddle underneath my Chevrolet Nova mean?

Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Chevrolet Nova. 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 Nova engine?

You can make your driving habits more engine-friendly. Hard starts and stops can increase the stress on engine parts, especially over many years. Boost your fuel economy and care for your engine by using gradual, smooth starts and stops instead.

Tune-Ups to Help Your Chevrolet Nova Run Better

Is your engine overdue for a tune-up? If you usually wait until your car has an issue to take it in for service, it could be time for a new way of doing things, particularly if you want to keep your 1988 Chevrolet Nova in tip-top shape. Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your Nova’s engine. Tune-ups help your engine start smoothly and run efficiently, which can lead to lower emission levels and better fuel economy. When you get routine engine tune-ups based on Chevrolet's recommendations, you’re taking vital steps toward keeping your Nova’s engine running smoother, longer.

Engine Tune-Up for Chevrolet Nova

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 1988 Chevrolet Nova. One option is the standard Firestone Tune-Up. This includes the installation of new spark plugs and a visual inspection of your engine’s components, plus a lifetime warranty on parts*. Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your Nova. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter. Our third service is a thorough cleaning of the fuel system.

Restored fuel system performance. Keep in mind that your Nova's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs. If you’re not sure what services are the best fit for your car, let us help! Ask one of our technicians what your vehicle needs, based on your driving habits and your car’s current condition.
