- Spark Plugs -
- Spark Plug Wires (Ignition Wire Set) -
- Distributor Cap -
- Distributor Rotor -
- Oxygen Sensor (O2 Sensor) -
- Oil Filter -
- Air Filter -
- PCV Breather Filter -
- Fuel Filter -
- Transmission Filter -
- Vacuum Hoses -
- Temperature Sensors -

- Belts -

 

You dont have a Cap and Rotor so dont need those..

Dont need to change the Temp Sensors unless they're bad...

Dont need to change O2's unless bad...

Dont think you have a PCV filter either...

Belts only need to be looked at and changed if cracked/checked...

Tranny filter only if changing tranny filter...

Oil filter only if changing oil..

Vacuum hoses only if bad ... (though wont hurt if done right)

So, Spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter. Pull the PVC hoses and clean. Clean throttle body. Clean MAF. Check fluids. Thats about it.

 

No cap and rotor you have coils. That list is for a Chevy.

Has your Timing belt and tensioners been Done? water pump??? IF not make that your priority!

get a bentley manual first so you have something to refer to.
www.bentleypublishers.com or www.ecstuning.com for a DVD-ROM

Vacuum lines www.ecstuning.com has the OEM braided
Spark plugs, platinum or iridium NGK
Ignition wires
Di-electric grease for all of the terminals
Air filter
Cabin air filter
Fuel filter
Valve Cover gaskets
Thermostat and O-ring
Radiator hoses, At least get the lower return line.
Meyle oil filter
Synthetic engine oil
synthetic 75W90 (Mobil 1) gear oil, for the transfer case and rear end. Front final drive takes it too if you can get to it.
Brake fluid, Get the blue. because it's easier to see.
Coolant G14 plus or plus plus what ever we're on now.
Temp sending unit is a good idea but get the clip and o-ring too. It is held in with a PITA plastic clip.

If you do not have experience changing transmission fluid and filters bring the car to a HIGHLY RECOMMENDEDEuropean repair shop to have it done. It is a complete PITA not for the beginner. However if you order the kit from www.blauparts.com order 2 extra Liters they short you 1.3 liters.

Then while your busy doing that look everywhere for oil leaks.
Check your CV joint boots for tears/leaks and CV joints for play.
Inspect your coolant reservoir for signs of cracks. They seem to crack on everyone.


I would not do the O2 sensors until you get the light. The PCV on these engines is not a cheap part. It is large and under the intake manifold, don't go there. You should have a look in the PCV plastic lines from the valve covers and see if you have excessive carbon build up in the lines.

Well that ought to keep you in trouble for the next few weekends

 

When was the last time you got any service done? How many miles do you have on the car? And what engine do you have?

Anyways most of the stuff that you are mentioning is pretty straight forward with exceptions to transmission filter, and belts (if you are referring to the timing belt) Get back to us with some more info and we can comment in detail.

 

thanks, great help
