Tune Into Your Pontiac Sunbird

Is it tune-up time? If you're the type of driver who waits for something to go wrong with your vehicle, it could be time for a new way of doing things, especially if you want your 1988 Pontiac Sunbird’s engine to last for a long time. Routine engine tune-ups can bring power back to your Sunbird. 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 follow the guidelines specified by Pontiac for your vehicle’s tune-up schedule, you can rest assured you’re investing in your Sunbird’s long-term engine performance.

Engine Tune-Up for Pontiac Sunbird

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 1988 Pontiac Sunbird. 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*. A second service option replaces the air and fuel filter in your Sunbird. 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 Sunbird. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Here’s something to remember when choosing services: the mileage and service history of your Sunbird can determine what kind of service it needs. 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.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A For 1988 Pontiac Sunbirds

  • When should Pontiac Sunbird spark plugs be replaced? 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 should I do if I see leaks under my Sunbird? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Pontiac Sunbird. 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 Sunbird 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 have a Pontiac Sunbird tune-up done? At your closest Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our experienced technicians offer Pontiac Sunbird service, maintenance, and repairs.
  • How often should I clean my Pontiac Sunbird fuel injectors? 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.
