replacing the rotor, cap, new oil filter, new oil.
It's your choice if you want to replace the air filter and the fuel filter. |

if youve got the cash id get all the belts and hoses redone. itll save you trouble in the long run. i mean timing belt is a must if its been a while or if you just bought the car, if the previous owner doesnt know what the timing belt is. i broke timing belt on a car and the valves bent. thats a big pain.
so if youve got the cash, do timing belt, most hoses, and filters. and coolant, and oil, and you should be good to go. -------------------- Former: 96 GT 5 speed (i/p/e) Fate- rear ended by mack truck

If the Timing Belt breaks on our cars nothing will happen but your engine is going to shutdown... There is enough clearance between the pistons and valves to prevent any hitting and damaging.. This is Non-Interference design..

don't replace the cap and rotor though if it doesn't need it. Check inside the cap to see if there is 1st. any fine rubbing, ebrasions, etc. then 2nd, very closely look for fine cracks. Then on the rotor, if it isn't shiny and smooth, then replace it. Usually, people just end up replace everything and spending money because they tyhink they have to. But smart people usually just end up replaceing the cap.

also, almost forgot, take your intake hose off, and clean the throttle body. Get some brake cleaner or some kind of easy evap. cleaner, a rag, and a long screw driver, hold that butterfly open, clean inside, clean the butterfly, clean clean clean and you def. get gains and happieness out of that. And go for the bosch +4's, wonderful wonderful.
