Will it hurt my Pontiac G5 to drive with old spark plugs?

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 should I do if I see leaks under my G5?

Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Pontiac G5. 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.

What do hard starts and stops do to my G5 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.

How often do Pontiac G5 fuel injectors need to be cleaned?

The cleaning schedule for vehicle fuel injectors varies depending on your driving conditions and the type of fuel you use.

Reference your Pontiac owner’s manual for exact guidelines.

Tune-Ups to Help Your Pontiac G5 Run Better

Is your engine overdue for a tune-up? If you tend to ignore your car until something goes wrong, it might be time to change your ways, particularly if you want to keep your 2008 Pontiac G5 in tip-top shape. Routine engine tune-ups can bring power back to your G5. 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 follow the guidelines specified by Pontiac for your vehicle’s tune-up schedule, you can rest assured you’re investing in your G5’s long-term engine performance.

Engine Tune-Up for Pontiac G5

The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Pontiac G5 engine tune-up services. The first 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*. A second service option replaces the air and fuel filter in your G5. 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 G5'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 G5 can determine what kind of service it 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 Should I Go for My Pontiac G5 Tune-Up?

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for your next 2008 G5 engine tune-up. Consult your vehicle’s recommended service schedule from Pontiac, 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, engine knocking, or an illuminated check engine light.
