Want to do a tuneup. Suggestions?
My car is running a little rough before it gets warmed up, and I have a few leaky seals and the oil pressure sensor is leaking as well. I want to do a good tune up and replace the seals while I'm at it.
So I'm wondering what I should do for the tuneup. This is what I've thought of so far: 1. Plugs (what kind?) 2. plug wires 3. should I do coils or would it be obvious if one was bad? EDIT: just looked at coil prices. I won't be doing those unless necessary! 4. clean TPS 5. already changed fuel filter not too long ago 6. Air filter 7. Clean injectors 8. What else?? Since I need to replace the rocker/valve cover gaskets, I'm thinking it will be easier to just pull the engine. That will make changing the plugs easier and then I can do the main seal at the same time. I did a search for what to do for a good tuneup, but couldn't find much so that's why I'm asking Any and all suggestions welcome (doesn't mean I'll listen, though ) Thanks!
