when doing a tune-up do I change the coil packs and wires? And what else do I need to do for a good tune- up?

Hi there,

Under normal conditions the coil pack do not need changing, you can replace the leads, spark plugs, air & fuel filter, clean the throttle body, re set the valve clearances (if manual tappets) & check the ignition timing, (if applicable)

Hi there,

Spark plug hi tension leads, or what you call the wires I believe.

Hi MR. GREEN,

Your model is Distributorless Ignition System so the coil packs are directly installed over the plugs, no leads to be replaced.

The fuel filter it located on the Driver side firewall in engine compartment.

Hi there,

The cop (coil over plug ) ignition system will normally have 1 attach point per coil and when un done they will lift off, you may have to undo the wire plug to move them, as for the fuel filter I will try to locate a pic of it's location and post it, I feel that you would benefit from purchasing a work shop manual as all this info with good pics will then be at your fingertips.
