Tune-Ups to Help Your Plymouth Horizon Run Better

Is it time for an engine tune-up? If you tend to ignore your car until something goes wrong, it could be time for a new way of doing things, especially if you want your 1987 Plymouth Horizon’s engine to last for a long time. Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your Horizon’s engine. 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 take your car for regular engine tune-ups as recommended by Plymouth, you can rest assured you’re investing in your Horizon’s long-term engine performance.

Engine Tune-Up for Plymouth Horizon

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 1987 Plymouth Horizon. One option is the standard Firestone Tune-Up. 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 Horizon. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter. The third tune-up option is a fuel system cleaning service, which is a three-step process that removes varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits on your Horizon's fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. This goes a long way in boosting your fuel system’s overall performance. Keep in mind that your Horizon's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs. If you’re not sure what services are the best fit for your car, let us help!

1987 Plymouth Horizon Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • When should Plymouth Horizon 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 Horizon? 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.
  • Are some driving habits better for my Plymouth Horizon 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.
  • Where can I get a Plymouth Horizon tune-up? At the nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’re ready to help service, maintain, and repair your Plymouth Horizon.
  • How often should I clean my Plymouth Horizon fuel injectors?

Some manufacturers generally recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of your general car maintenance, or as needed based on symptoms of poor fuel system performance.
