  • Basic Tune Up Questions

    My car has 210K miles on it, and if it isnt in this list, then I haven't changed it.
    Fuel Pump, fuel filter regularly, cat, plugs, wires, clutch, driveshaft, tranny fluid, radiator fluid, oil every 2K & filter, rotors & pads, new MAF, new idle control valve. Is there anything else I should/should have changed or any suggestions? My mpg isnt all that great anymore, and it seems to idle rough. Some Seafoam and injector cleaner is all I can think of. Thanks for the help. [img]smile.gif[/img]

    O2's
    PCV vavle

    clean the TB

    book says the wheel bearings are suppose to be done at 100K miles

    i wouldn't worry about the sea foam i would get the hole top of the motor cleaned by a pro.

    i would bleed your brake lines and put new fluid in there if you haven't

    bleed your clutch till it's all new fluid if you never did it.

    check all suspention for wear and make sure there is grease in the grease fittings.

    check all vaccum line lines for dryrot and cracks.

    check all coolent hoses for crack's

    REPLACE YOUR WATER PUMP should have been done 2 time's already !!!!

          A top engine clean will improve gas mileage, make your car idle so much better and bring back horsepower. With that many miles im sure theres quite a bit of carbon built up.

          Vipers got all the things that would want to be checked and done up above [img]smile.gif[/img]

              Well, everything mentioned has already been changed. And if you really really take care of the car, it'll last a Very long time. My stock clutch lasted 170k miles, and the car runs absolutley fine. Water pump lasted till 150k miles, so I have a fresh one. Where is the PCV valve and how much? Should i do anything about the EGR? I've cleaned the TB. Rear end is fine, wheel bearings as well. Any and all fluids have already been changed. Any more suggestions are appreciated!
