Tune-Ups to Help Your Ford Aerostar 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, now is the time to work on that habit, especially if you drive a 1988 Ford Aerostar. Regular engine tune-ups can optimize your Aerostar’s power on the road. They're designed to help your engine start easier and run more efficiently, which can mean better fuel economy (a win for you) and lower emissions (a win for the environment). When you get routine engine tune-ups based on Ford's recommendations, you’re taking vital steps toward keeping your Aerostar’s engine running smoother, longer.

Engine Tune-Up for Ford Aerostar

Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care location has several options to choose from when it comes to Ford Aerostar engine tune-up services. The standard Firestone Tune-Up is one service option. The standard Firestone Tune-Up includes new spark plugs (and installation!), a thorough inspection of engine components, and a lifetime parts warranty*. A second service option replaces the air and fuel filter in your Aerostar. 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 Aerostar’s fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. This can improve your fuel system’s performance (and therefore, your engine’s performance). Here’s something to remember when choosing services: the mileage and service history of your Aerostar can determine what kind of service it needs. 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 Ford Aerostar

Schedule your next 1988 Aerostar engine tune-up service at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Follow Ford's recommended maintenance schedule or book an appointment as soon as you notice one of the following: stalling or shaky idling when you’re stopped, diminished fuel economy, knocking noises in the engine, or a lit up check engine light on your dashboard.

Questions About 1988 Ford Aerostar Engine Tune-Ups

  • Will it hurt my Ford Aerostar 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 Ford’s recommendations.
  • What does a puddle underneath my Ford Aerostar 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 Ford Aerostar 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.
  • I need a Ford Aerostar tune-up. Where can I get on? At the nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’re ready to help service, maintain, and repair your Ford Aerostar.
  • How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Ford Aerostar need to be cleaned? Factors like fuel type and driving conditions can affect how frequently you need to clean your Aerostar fuel injectors. Some manufacturers recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of routine maintenance, or as needed if your vehicle is showing signs of poor fuel system performance.
