Enhance Mitsubishi Lancer 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, it might be time to change your ways, especially if you want your 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer’s engine to last for a long time. Routine engine tune-ups can bring power back to your Lancer. Tune-ups give your engine a boost in efficiency, so you can enjoy improved fuel economy and lower emissions. When you follow the guidelines specified by Mitsubishi for your vehicle’s tune-up schedule, you’re taking vital steps toward keeping your Lancer’s engine running smoother, longer.

Mitsubishi Lancer Engine Tune-Up Services

The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Mitsubishi Lancer 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 Lancer. 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 Lancer’s fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. This can improve your fuel system’s performance (and therefore, your engine’s performance). Here’s something to remember when choosing services: the mileage and service history of your Lancer can determine what kind of service it needs. If you’re not sure what services are the best fit for your car, let us help! Ask one of our technicians what your vehicle needs, based on your driving habits and your car’s current condition.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A For 2002 Mitsubishi Lancers

  • When should Mitsubishi Lancer spark plugs be replaced? Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Mitsubishi’s recommendations.
  • What does a puddle underneath my Mitsubishi Lancer mean? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Mitsubishi Lancer. 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 Mitsubishi Lancer 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 Mitsubishi Lancer tune-up? At your closest Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our experienced technicians offer Mitsubishi Lancer service, maintenance, and repairs.

Reference your Mitsubishi owner’s manual for exact guidelines.
