Regular engine tune-ups can optimize your Shadow’s power on the road. Tune-ups give your engine a boost in efficiency, 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’re taking vital steps toward keeping your Shadow’s engine running smoother, longer.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 1989 Dodge Shadow. One option is the standard Firestone Tune-Up.

The second service focuses on your Shadow'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 Shadow. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Here’s something to remember when choosing services: the mileage and service history of your Shadow can determine what kind of service it needs.

Questions About 1989 Dodge Shadow Engine Tune-Ups

  • When should Dodge Shadow 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 Shadow? Puddles could indicate that your vehicle is leaking coolant, oil, or brake fluid. Ignoring these leaks can lead to permanent engine damage, so address these symptoms ASAP with a tune-up service.
  • What do hard starts and stops do to my Shadow 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.
  • Where can I get a Dodge Shadow tune-up? At your closest Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our experienced technicians offer Dodge Shadow service, maintenance, and repairs.
  • How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Dodge Shadow need to be cleaned? The frequency at which car fuel injectors should be cleaned can vary depending on several factors, including the type of fuel used and the driving conditions. Some manufacturers generally recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of your general car maintenance, or as needed based on symptoms of poor fuel system performance.
