either get an oem coil or a accel super coil #8140 for yellow or 8140C for chrome look in the how to for an install.

nah, my coil isnt bad. but I think it has been a while since the car has had a tune up. My gas milage has been shitty. so Im thinking this is the time for a tune up.

if its been a long time go for a full tune up

Valve adjustment
Timing belt
Timing adjustment.
Drive belts
fuel filters

it really extends the life of the car, and lets the engine run the way it should for longer :P

well the head was replaced before I bought it, So The Valve Lash should be fine. Timing belt was done when I got my Watter pump replaced, so my Cooling system was Flushed out and Refilled. Timming belt and timming was done.
