My son's 2001 Accords just turned 130K miles (we bought it from my sister at 121K miles) and I plan to do a tune-up, as I don't know when she last had one done. The car currently runs OK with no issues.

I was thinking of going with NGK plugs and wires (I use these on my Subarus). For the plugs, are platinums or iradiums better on the 2.3 VTEC engine?

I also plan to change the distributor cap and rotor. Is there anything else I should of changing at at this point?

 

Original Honda(summitomo) wires are fine and are not much more than NGK wires, which would be the second choice.
NGK Platinums are fine, but the Denso Iridium allows a better spark.
Cap Rotor again Honda would be best.
When changing plugs, change the O2 sensor. Go with Denso brand, avoid Bosch.

Check the valve clearance?
If you do not know when the timing belt/water pump was replaced, get that done as well.

 

Thank you. Timing belt and water pump were done at 121K miles, so they're OK.

Is there only one O2 sensor on this engine?

 

Should have two. One pre-cat and one aftercat.

 

is there a recommended service interval for o2 sensors?

 

Actually I believe my brother-in-law replaced one O2 sensor (maybe both) before I got the car.
