Enhance Dodge Caravan Performance with a Tune-Up

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, especially if you drive a 1986 Dodge Caravan. Regular engine tune-ups can optimize your Caravan’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 Dodge, you’re taking vital steps toward keeping your Caravan’s engine running smoother, longer.

Engine Tune-Up for Dodge Caravan

The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Dodge Caravan engine tune-up services. 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*. A second service option replaces the air and fuel filter in your Caravan. 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 Caravan. This goes a long way in boosting your fuel system’s overall performance. Consider this when choosing a tune-up service for your Caravan: your vehicle’s maintenance record and mileage can determine which service is best. If you’re not sure what services are the best fit for your car, let us help! Talk to a technician about your driving style, mileage, and service history to learn more about your vehicle's specific needs.

1986 Dodge Caravan Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • When should Dodge Caravan 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 do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Dodge Caravan? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Dodge Caravan. 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 Dodge Caravan 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.
  • Where can I get a Dodge Caravan tune-up? At your closest Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our experienced technicians offer Dodge Caravan service, maintenance, and repairs.
  • How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Dodge Caravan need to be cleaned? There is no hard and fast rule on how often fuel injectors should be cleaned, and it can vary based on driving habits and fuel type. Some manufacturers may suggest including a fuel system cleaning in your regular maintenance schedule. Or you may need to clean your fuel injectors as needed if you notice signs of a fuel system problem.
