Tune up

negolien · 05-04-2008, 11:45 PM

Heyo,

Gonna throw a tune up on my gls sedan since god knows when last one was done. The manufacturers recomended maintanance doesn't really include much LOL. Ahh remember the good old days when places actually replaced more then the spark plugs during a tune up? WTF LOL replace plugs and air filter charge ya 300 dollars and call that a tune up LOL WTFE :<). DIY is always the way to go it seems to me. Gonna go NGK TR55 plugs any thoughts on coil packs and wires? Any thoughts in general?

Stock car = stock coil packs + stock wires + AC Delco plugs. Never really had good luck with the TR55s but others swear by them.
Replace your fuel and air filters.

complete stock everything seems to be working fine for me.

i actually pulled a couple plugs about a month ago, just to check to see if they were worn or anything, and they looked brand new. maybe they changed them before selling it to me? 57k miles on an 03 and they were spotless.

I threw a synthetic oil change on her today stupid dealership supposedly did a how many point check before selling her to me and she was a quart over full....asshats. How did I miss not checking the lvl when I bought it LOL what a dumb ass. I did check for color of oil but since it looked full I didn't bother to wipe it and check lvl DEE DE DEE. Glad I didn't wait to do it.
