    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.

    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.


    AIr filter- maybe a CAI
    Fuel Filter- nope
    Oil- nope
    Tranny- Nope. not since Rebuild
    Plugs- not since I bought it, god knows when before.
    Wires- see Above.
