What happens if my Dodge Colt spark plugs fail?

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 does a puddle underneath my Dodge Colt mean?

Puddles could indicate an oil leak, coolant leak, or brake fluid leak– all of which can critically hurt your engine. Have your engine inspected as soon as you spot a pool of liquid in your usual parking spot.

Are hard starts and stops bad for my Dodge Colt engine?

Hard starts and stops put extra wear and tear on engine components. Smooth, gradual starts and stops, on the other hand, are a great way to help your engine run better. They can also help maximize your fuel economy.

How often do Dodge Colt fuel injectors 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.

Or you may need to clean your fuel injectors as needed if you notice signs of a fuel system problem.

Enhance Dodge Colt Performance with a Tune-Up

Is it tune-up time? If you tend to ignore your car until something goes wrong, it might be time to change your ways, especially if you want your 1988 Dodge Colt’s engine to last for a long time. Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your Colt’s engine. They're designed to help your engine start easier and run more efficiently, which can lead to lower emission levels and better fuel economy. When you follow the guidelines specified by Dodge for your vehicle’s tune-up schedule, you invest in your Colt's long-term health and engine performance.

Engine Tune-Up for Dodge Colt

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 1988 Dodge Colt. 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*. The second service focuses on your Colt's filters, specifically replacing the air filter and fuel filter. 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 Colt. This goes a long way in boosting your fuel system’s overall performance. Keep in mind that your Colt's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs. This means that a tune-up service that’s a great fit for another car may not be optimal for yours. Chat with a Firestone technician before you jump into a specific service to ensure your engine tune-up money is well-spent.
