Enhance Plymouth Reliant 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, particularly if you want to keep your 1986 Plymouth Reliant in tip-top shape. Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your Reliant’s engine. Tune-ups help your engine start smoothly and run 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 Reliant’s long-term engine performance.

Routine Engine Tune-Up Service for Your Plymouth Reliant

The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Plymouth Reliant 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*. The second service focuses on your Reliant's filters, specifically replacing the air filter and fuel 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 Reliant’s fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Keep in mind that your Reliant's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs. A one-size-fits-all engine tune-up procedure doesn’t necessarily exist. Talk to a technician about your driving style, mileage, and service history to learn more about your vehicle's specific needs.

Where to Get a Tune-Up for Your Plymouth Reliant

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for your next 1986 Reliant engine tune-up. Consult your vehicle’s recommended service schedule from Plymouth, or make a service appointment if you notice any of these symptoms from your engine: stalling or shaky idling when you’re stopped, diminished fuel economy, knocking noises in the engine, or a lit up check engine light on your dashboard.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A For 1986 Plymouth Reliants

  • When should Plymouth Reliant 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 does a puddle underneath my Plymouth Reliant 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.
  • Are some driving habits better for my Plymouth Reliant engine than others? 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 have a Plymouth Reliant tune-up done? At your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care! Whether you need Plymouth Reliant service, maintenance, or repairs, our technicians can get the job done.
  • How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Plymouth Reliant 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.
