Just in need of normal tune up suggestions. As far as I know it goes like this.

Spark Plugs
Plug Wires
Air Filter
Fuel Filter
Injection Cleaner

anything else Im missing? Also Im not sure on what brand and type of all this to get so suggestions are needed thanks!

 

how many miles and what motor?

 

Cap, Rotor, and PCV Valve also.

 

78k and D16Y7-XXXXXXX 1.6L non-Vtec

 

valve adj., check brakes,axles boost, e brake adj.

 

Coolant flush, brake/clutch fluid flush and tranny fluid change.

 

On the topic of that how much should the e-brake hold me? I can almost drive around with out noticing it on.

goto a hill.. park, pull the ebrake, does the car move. no.. then no problem, does it move when pulled up.. you have bigger problems

 

I know I could definitely use an e-brake adjustment. Mine doesn't engage until about 3-5 clicks from being pulled up as much as possible.

Do a fuel system service or just take out your injectors and clean them too . Check any and all fluids as well.

Yeah I got problems then I think.

Thanks for all the suggestion, now what type of spark plugs and things should I get is my next question. I dont want to get some really cheap stuff and not know it! Thanks!

 

OEM ones are NGK Coppers. But iridiums wouldn't hurt either but wouldn't give you any performance gains either (not that spark plugs alone would anyways).

 

Hmm Im not seeing the coppers anywhere, even on ebay all I find are these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1

Im more going for better gas mileage and a little better performance. So Im not sure if the copper really matters in my case but let me know if this is still what Im looking for cause this takes care of spark plugs and wires at the same time.

 

You can find them at your local parts store for $1.xx.

 

AH what about the plug wires? Am I looking for the same brand also?

BTW, I tested my car on a hill and it hardly has any resistance when its just the e-brake. Looks like it needs an adjustment.

 

go with factory plug wires

 

More info on why?

The factory wires are NGK. Great quality, low resistance and they'll last. If it ain't broke don't fix it, ya know?

 

Ah Really I diddant know that, so getting the NGK Platinum would have no real gain other than just look better?

 

No. Stick with OEM.

 

Alright what about the Air Filter, should I just get a replacement K&N something like that. Or completely replace it with a CAI?

 

i have a drop in K&n and love it.. i just like the look of oem also. expect to pay around 45 dollars.

do your fuel filter and fuel pump filter as well... also run some TB cleaner through.

 

cap and rotor for the dizzy

Are you referring to the bag/screen thing attached to the pump? I've never heard of anybody replacing this as a regular maintenance item.

 

Get a hks mushroom yellow filter more air = more power easy to clean too and maintain
