Ok, I just got my car back from the dealer for the head gasket and pcm replacement after overheating [see other posts] and my tech told me it needed some things:
- replace external belts [pretty sure just the ones on the front, behind radiator]
- replace upper and lower radiator hoses [anyone know if I need to get my coolant system flushed after this?]
- "major tune up" :
I asked him what this meant and he said spark plugs&wires, distributor cap&rotors, throttle body service, and fuel injector service.
Ok what exactly does he mean by TB service and Injector service? is it something I can do? Also, I was gonna do the plugs and wires myself, what about cap & rotors? I Can probably do these myself too, and I thougt I saw performance versions of these In my JC Whitney catalog.... ?
OK any info is helpful, Of course when I do all this Im gonna do an oil change, run fuel injector cleaner, and Clean Tech in case of sticky lifters and such.
thanx in advance
