Enhance Ford Mustang Performance with a Tune-Up

Is your engine overdue for a tune-up? If you're the type of driver who waits for something to go wrong with your vehicle, now is the time to work on that habit, particularly if you want to keep your 1988 Ford Mustang in tip-top shape. Regular engine tune-ups can optimize your Mustang’s power on the road. Tune-ups give your engine a boost in efficiency, 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 Mustang’s engine running smoother, longer.

Ford Mustang Engine Tune-Up Services

The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Ford Mustang engine tune-up services. 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*. A second service option replaces the air and fuel filter in your Mustang. 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 Mustang. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Here’s something to remember when choosing services: the mileage and service history of your Mustang can determine what kind of service it needs. This means that a tune-up service that’s a great fit for another car may not be optimal for yours. Ask one of our technicians what your vehicle needs, based on your driving habits and your car’s current condition.

Where Should I Go for My Ford Mustang Tune-Up?

If you’re looking for 1988 Mustang engine tune-up services, head to Firestone Complete Auto Care. Not sure when you’re due for a tune-up? Use Ford’s recommended maintenance schedule as a reference point, or schedule an appointment ASAP if you notice any of these signs: stalling or shaky idling when you’re stopped, diminished fuel economy, engine knocking, or an illuminated check engine light.

1988 Ford Mustang Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • 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 does a puddle underneath my Ford Mustang mean? 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.
  • Are hard starts and stops bad for my Ford Mustang 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 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.
  • How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Ford Mustang 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.
