Will it hurt my Ford Probe 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 I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Ford Probe?

Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Ford Probe. 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 Probe engine?

Tune Into Your Ford Probe

Is your engine overdue for a tune-up? If you usually wait until your car has an issue to take it in for service, it might be time to change your ways, especially if you want your 1990 Ford Probe’s engine to last for a long time. Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your Probe’s engine. They're designed to help your engine start easier and run more efficiently, so you can enjoy improved fuel economy and lower emissions. When you get routine engine tune-ups based on Ford's recommendations, you’re taking vital steps toward keeping your Probe’s engine running smoother, longer.

Routine Engine Tune-Up Service for Your Ford Probe

The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Ford Probe engine tune-up services. The standard Firestone Tune-Up is one service option. 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 Probe's filters, specifically replacing the air filter and fuel filter. 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 Probe’s fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Keep in mind that your Probe'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. Chat with a Firestone technician before you jump into a specific service to ensure your engine tune-up money is well-spent.

Where to Get a Tune-Up for Your Ford Probe

Schedule your next 1990 Probe 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, an illuminated check engine light on your dashboard, or a knocking sound when the engine is running.
