Enhance Ford Mustang Performance with a Tune-Up

Is it tune-up time? 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, particularly if you want to keep your 1987 Ford Mustang in tip-top shape. Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your Mustang’s engine. Tune-ups help your engine start smoothly and run efficiently, which can lead to lower emission levels and better fuel economy. When you follow the guidelines specified by Ford for your vehicle’s tune-up schedule, you’re taking vital steps toward keeping your Mustang’s engine running smoother, longer.

Routine Engine Tune-Up Service for Your Ford Mustang

Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care location has several options to choose from when it comes to Ford Mustang engine tune-up services. The first 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 Mustang'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 Mustang's fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. This can improve your fuel system’s performance (and therefore, your engine’s performance). Keep in mind that your Mustang's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up 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 Ford Mustang Tune-Up

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for your next 1987 Mustang engine tune-up. Consult your vehicle’s recommended service schedule from Ford, or make a service appointment if you notice any of these symptoms from your engine: shaking while the engine is idling, poor fuel economy, engine knocking, or an illuminated check engine light.

Questions About 1987 Ford Mustang Engine Tune-Ups

  • Will it hurt my Ford Mustang 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 should I do if I see leaks under my Mustang? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Ford Mustang. 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 Ford Mustang engine? You can make your driving habits more engine-friendly. Hard starts and stops can increase the stress on engine parts, especially over many years. Boost your fuel economy and care for your engine by using gradual, smooth starts and stops instead.
  • Where can I get a tune-up for my Ford Mustang? At your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care! Whether you need Ford Mustang service, maintenance, or repairs, our technicians can get the job done.

Some manufacturers suggest cleaning your fuel system as part of routine maintenance, while others will recommend it on an as-needed basis if you’re experiencing poor performance. Reference your Ford owner’s manual for exact guidelines.
