What happens if my Lincoln Continental spark plugs fail?

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 Lincoln Continental 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 some driving habits better for my Lincoln Continental engine than others?

Hard stops and starts can lead to premature wear on your engine’s components. Lighten up that lead foot and opt for steady, fluid starts and stops instead. Your engine (and your passengers!) will thank you.

How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Lincoln Continental need to be cleaned?

Or you may need to clean your fuel injectors as needed if you notice signs of a fuel system problem.

Tune Into Your Lincoln Continental

Is it tune-up time? If you tend to ignore your car until something goes wrong, it might be time to change your ways, especially if you drive a 1988 Lincoln Continental. Regular engine tune-ups can optimize your Continental’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 follow the guidelines specified by Lincoln for your vehicle’s tune-up schedule, you invest in your Continental's long-term health and engine performance.

Lincoln Continental Engine Tune-Up Services

Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care location has several options to choose from when it comes to Lincoln Continental 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*. Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your Continental. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air 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 Continental’s fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. This can improve your fuel system’s performance (and therefore, your engine’s performance). Consider this when choosing a tune-up service for your Continental: your vehicle’s maintenance record and mileage can determine which service is best. 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 Lincoln Continental

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for your next 1988 Continental engine tune-up. Consult your vehicle’s recommended service schedule from Lincoln, or make a service appointment if you notice any of these symptoms from your engine: decreased gas mileage, "rough" idling or stalling when stopped, knocking noises in the engine, or a lit up check engine light on your dashboard.
