Tune-Ups to Help Your Plymouth Horizon Run Better

Is your engine overdue for a tune-up? If you usually wait until your car has an issue to take it in for service, now is the time to work on that habit, especially if you want your 1988 Plymouth Horizon’s engine to last for a long time. Regular engine tune-ups can optimize your Horizon’s power on the road. They're designed to help your engine start easier and run more efficiently, which can lead to lower emission levels and better fuel economy. When you follow the guidelines specified by Plymouth for your vehicle’s tune-up schedule, you can rest assured you’re investing in your Horizon’s long-term engine performance.

Plymouth Horizon Engine Tune-Up Services

The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Plymouth Horizon engine tune-up services. The first 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. The result? Restored fuel system 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! Talk to a technician about your driving style, mileage, and service history to learn more about your vehicle's specific needs.

Questions About 1988 Plymouth Horizon Engine Tune-Ups

  • Will it hurt my Plymouth Horizon to drive with old spark plugs? 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 Plymouth Horizon mean? 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 Horizon engine? Hard starts and stops put extra wear and tear on engine components. Smooth, gradual starts and stops, on the other hand, are a great way to help your engine run better. They can also help maximize your fuel economy.
  • Where can I get a tune-up for my Plymouth Horizon? At the nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’re ready to help service, maintain, and repair your Plymouth Horizon.
  • How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Plymouth Horizon need to be cleaned? The cleaning schedule for vehicle fuel injectors varies depending on your driving conditions and the type of fuel you use. Some manufacturers suggest cleaning your fuel system as part of routine maintenance, while others will recommend it on an as-needed basis if you’re experiencing poor performance. Reference your Plymouth owner’s manual for exact guidelines.
