Tune Into Your Plymouth Colt

Is it tune-up time? If you're the type of driver who waits for something to go wrong with your vehicle, it might be time to change your ways, particularly if you want to keep your 1986 Plymouth Colt in tip-top shape. Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your Colt’s engine. 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 take your car for regular engine tune-ups as recommended by Plymouth, you’re taking vital steps toward keeping your Colt’s engine running smoother, longer.

Engine Tune-Up for Plymouth Colt

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 1986 Plymouth Colt. The first 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*. The second service focuses on your Colt's filters, specifically replacing the air filter and fuel 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 Colt. This goes a long way in boosting your fuel system’s overall performance. Consider this when choosing a tune-up service for your Colt: your vehicle’s maintenance record and mileage can determine which service is best. 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.

1986 Plymouth Colt Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • When should Plymouth Colt 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 Plymouth’s recommendations.
  • What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Plymouth Colt? Puddles could indicate an oil leak, coolant leak, or brake fluid leak– all of which can critically hurt your engine. Have your engine inspected as soon as you spot a pool of liquid in your usual parking spot.
  • What do hard starts and stops do to my Colt 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.
  • Where can I get a tune-up for my Plymouth Colt? At your local Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our technicians know how to service, maintain, and repair Plymouth Colts.
  • How often do Plymouth Colt fuel injectors need to be cleaned? There is no hard and fast rule on how often fuel injectors should be cleaned, and it can vary based on driving habits and fuel type. Some manufacturers may suggest including a fuel system cleaning in your regular maintenance schedule. Or you may need to clean your fuel injectors as needed if you notice signs of a fuel system problem.
