Tune Into Your Mercury Mountaineer

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, particularly if you want to keep your 2002 Mercury Mountaineer in tip-top shape. Routine engine tune-ups can bring power back to your Mountaineer. 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 follow the guidelines specified by Mercury for your vehicle’s tune-up schedule, you’re taking vital steps toward keeping your Mountaineer’s engine running smoother, longer.

Routine Engine Tune-Up Service for Your Mercury Mountaineer

Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care location has several options to choose from when it comes to Mercury Mountaineer engine tune-up services. One option is the standard Firestone Tune-Up. It includes a complete visual inspection of engine components, installation of new spark plugs, and a lifetime warranty on parts*. Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your Mountaineer. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter. 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 Mountaineer. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Here’s something to remember when choosing services: the mileage and service history of your Mountaineer can determine what kind of service it needs. A one-size-fits-all engine tune-up procedure doesn’t necessarily exist. Ask one of our technicians what your vehicle needs, based on your driving habits and your car’s current condition.

2002 Mercury Mountaineer Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • When should Mercury Mountaineer spark plugs be replaced? Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.
  • What should I do if I see leaks under my Mountaineer? 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.
  • What do hard starts and stops do to my Mountaineer engine? 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.
