Tune Into Your Chrysler PT Cruiser

If you're the type of driver who waits for something to go wrong with your vehicle, it could be time for a new way of doing things, especially if you want your 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser’s engine to last for a long time. Routine engine tune-ups can bring power back to your PT Cruiser. They're designed to help your engine start easier and run more efficiently, so you can enjoy improved fuel economy and lower emissions. When you follow the guidelines specified by Chrysler for your vehicle’s tune-up schedule, you’re taking vital steps toward keeping your PT Cruiser’s engine running smoother, longer.

Engine Tune-Up for Chrysler PT Cruiser

Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care location has several options to choose from when it comes to Chrysler PT Cruiser engine tune-up services. One option is the standard Firestone Tune-Up. It includes a complete visual inspection of engine components, installation of new spark plugs, and a lifetime warranty on parts*. A second service option replaces the air and fuel filter in your PT Cruiser. Our third service is a thorough cleaning of the fuel system. During this type of tune-up, we use a three-step process to get rid of harmful varnish, dirt, and carbon deposit buildup in your PT Cruiser’s fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Consider this when choosing a tune-up service for your PT Cruiser: your vehicle’s maintenance record and mileage can determine which service is best. 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 Tune-Up for Your Chrysler PT Cruiser

Schedule your next 2003 PT Cruiser engine tune-up service at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Consult your vehicle’s recommended service schedule from Chrysler, or make a service appointment if you notice any of these symptoms from your engine: decreased gas mileage, "rough" idling or stalling when stopped, knocking noises in the engine, or a lit up check engine light on your dashboard.

2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • When should Chrysler PT Cruiser spark plugs be replaced? Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.
  • What should I do if I see leaks under my PT Cruiser? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Chrysler PT Cruiser. 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 Chrysler PT Cruiser 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.
