Hey guys and gals, I'm ready to give my ole' faithful 1991 accord a good basic tune up and need you guys to help me by giving me a list of some basic things to check. I've got new plugs, I've changed all the fluids but that's it. Any little advice would be great, thanks.

Here is a check list:
Fluids - Done
Plugs - Done....
Now some other things:
Spark Plug Wires - (Should be done with your Plugs)
PCV Valve - (A very cheap and basic thing to change that many people forget)
Intake Air Filter - (K&N never fails)
Oil Filter - (With your basic oil change)
Fuel Filter - (this is a harder thing to change... but neccessary)
and.. I believe that's about it.
I do my own tune up and it costs me about less than $100 for quality parts.
Good Luck!

With a 91, you should check the compression as well. Make sure you aren't having any smoke out of the exhaust...after you get over 100k, it is semi-common for your piston rings to get worn and start leaking oil. This will cause blue smoke to come out your exhaust...so check for that as well.
