Under your hood, what needs to be replaced for optimum performance?
Spark Plugs
What else?
Newbie needs some info



I don't know why I am thinking about this, another exam on monday and I barely studied. Shit!

Plugs
Cap and Rotor
Fuel Filter
Air Filter
Throttle Body Service
Plug Wires???..Maybe

Thats about it..everything else is up to the computer....Service all this and the car will run like the day u drive it off the lot.

When you say caps and rotors, what are rotors?
And how would I clean my throttle body? Are these DIY'able?

Your input was useful, good for those who are lazy and needs a quiky.

Distriibutor Cap and Rotor. It is located on the other end of your spark plug wires, opposite the spark plugs.

Throttle body clean is very DIY...take off the intake hose from the throttle body. Get some carb cleaner and spray the inside of the throttle body and wipe the throttle plate with a rag until its clean.

Arthur, do you have a service manual?

I only have an owner's manual, but I don't think they teach you when to replace certain engine parts or how to clean them.

I've got 48K on mine and I normally do my own oil and filter, air filter as well.

No biggies there. I'm having Castle Honda flush and change transmission fluid and if price is good I'll get the heating and cooling systems looked at to see if any thing there is not up to spec.

just my $.02
