Default tune up?

ok i know this is a typical NOOB question, but i and my friends dont know **** about the k-series... i have a K20a2 with 90,xxx miles....it seems to run a bit' slugish. idk maybe i just have higher expectation for the godly K-series. but all i know is a ran a Focus SVT and we were dead even from 1st to 3rd. i also spanked a 5.0 Mustang lol.

basically is my engine worn out or what? im dong compression testing soon. what else can i do....i have fresh oil and plug/plugwires.

please help

Well, the K series doesnt have plug wires to start off with. All they have is a Coil on plug DIS system.

Oil change, run a bottle of FI cleaner, new plugs, fuel filter, air filter, clean the 02 sensors.

Simple stuff. Doesnt take much.

You just need to clean them. No need to replace unless youre getting a OBD2 DTC off of the car telling you they need replacing.

From what Ive seen, just remove the sensor, and spray some ELECTRICAL parts cleaner on them and clean them up a bit.
