I think that it is time for me to do a serious tuneup. My car is a 98 with 75000 miles and it has been running like crap. I do regular oil changes but my car is still running terrible. What do you guys think is good to do if I havnt had a tuneup in 15000 miles. I have about 600 dollars to spend on a tune up. Anyone know any good shops in South florida

 

if it bothers you, do it.

 

what do you mean by "running like crap"? be a little more specific...

 

new timing belt (yer just about due anyways)
waterpump (might as well at the same time)
valve adjustment
new air intake filter
new oil filter/new oil
replace oil filter o-ring (same time)
new spark plugs
new cap and rotor (or just rotor if the cap has no cracks, and the points look fine)
check timing.
check brakes - rotors and pads
flush coolant/rad/refill with a system bleed.
drain/refill transmission oil
flush powersteering

etc...

 

what about maintanance reguarading the clutch assembly and drive train etc. when i turn my wheel right and left it makes a knocking sound. Also ive posted several times reguarding a click i hear whenever i do something that would make the car jolt like downshift, turn, hitting bumps. what should i have checked
