ok so i want to do some tune up stuff on my 96 because obviously things are getting old.... i've already done clutch and fly wheel, spark plugs and wires and i change my oil regularly. so..i was wondering if anyone could possibly make a small list of the things you might recomend doing for a tune up. the things i'm going to get tomorrow are fuel filter, distributor cap, distributor rotor, ignition coil, pcv valve. and i think thats it. so if you know of anything else that you would recomend doing for a tune up on a car that has 125k on it please let me know. thanks for the help.

or if you know of a link that has these things listed that would be helpful too.

 

sounds like you just about have it covered. Only thing that comes to mind is belts (a/c, power steering, alternator). Has the timing belt, water pump and valve adjustment already been done?

 

timing belt, water pump and valve adjustments havent been done yet. but those are more things i was planing on doing. but i finished up everything i said i was going to do today. wow honda was stupid when they put phillips head screws inside the distributor to hold things together. after eleven years those things dont come out that well and tend to get rounded out! but it seems like things run a little bit more smooth now...idk maybe its just me since i have done a slight tune up. what would you rate the toughness on the water pump? i think i'm going to let someone else mess with the timing belt. dont think thats for me. and as for the valve adjustments....tell me more because i havent really heard of that. thanks for the help.

 

Search for the valve adjustments, i think theres a DIY, or maybe a link to one..

Water pump gets swapped at the same time as the timing belt, so if you're paying someone to do the belt, might as well have them do the pump too
