Will it hurt my Ford F-150 to drive with old spark plugs?

When it’s time to replace the spark plugs, don’t delay. These small (but vital!) parts provide the electric spark that your car needs in order to start, and old spark plugs can prevent your car from starting at all. Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so.

What do hard starts and stops do to my F-150 engine?

Ford F-150 Engine Tune-Up Services

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 2009 Ford F-150. The first 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*. The second service focuses on your F-150's filters, specifically replacing the air filter and fuel filter. The third tune-up option is a fuel system cleaning service, which is a three-step process that removes varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits on your F-150's fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Keep in mind that your F-150's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs.
