But that cant be it can it? What should i do and where can i get the good stuff but not expensive too since now im a family man and trying to save but also dont want to get rid of my car cause i love it too much!!

TIA

ngk plugs
ac declo wires

oil change, trans fluid change (i would NOT recommend a flush), get some new coolant in there perhaps.

depending on miles, might be good to change out the blower oil w/ some fresh stuff from GM.

Thanks Mook! Will definitely do that. I was thinking of doing all that except the coolant. will add to the list. What kind of NGK plugs and gap them at what? I have full exahust system Thrasher CAI PCM 3.4 pulley and i think that is it for engine mods. Cant really count the trans cooler or can you?

SyP- Whats up! Hows things here? I've missed out on A LOT of things!!

Hey, it's THIS guy!




....but seriously, usually all a tune-up is comprised of at most shops is a change of plugs, not even the wires. I'd do both if it's been a while of course, considering neither is too expensive, and I concur with what Mook recommended above for services and brands.

Is there anything wrong with the car, or are you just doing a tune-up for the hell of it because it's been a while?

Here's a list to look at:

s/c oil
idler pulley
s/c belt
plug
wires
power steering fluid
bleed the brakes
coolant flush
trans fluid change/flush
PCV valve
t-stat
fuel filter
check valve cover gaskets
clean air filter
clean injectors
replace injector o-rings
change blinker fluid


I might have forgotten a thing or two, but this list should be a start.

Hey its me!! lol Needs a tune up. Im also getting crazy misfires so im going to do the wires and plugs and maybe the coil packs. Hopefully this fixes that issue. Thanks!

Sounds good to me, I was thinking of getting them anyways instead of the autolite 104s. Thanks!
