Miles between tune up for 2004 Base Pontiac Vibe?

Post by bountybuddy »

Please tell me how many miles should be driven before a tune up on a 2004 Base Pontiac Vibe. I'm still waiting to get my manual. Thanks for your help. Drive safe my friends.

The iridium spark plugs last for 100-120k miles. These cars use coil packs directly over the plugs so you have no plug wires to replace unless you have massive rodent issues. The plugs may be seized with rust, use PB Blaster to help penetrate the rust so you can break them loose without breaking an arm.

If you use WD-40 instead of PB Blaster I will hunt you down and draw mustaches and huge eyelashes on every picture of you that I can find.

Make sure to use anti seize on your plugs as well. They sell little tiny pouches of it, just enough to do your plugs. My friend had a plug snap off in his block once. It will ruin your day possible your week.
