I wanna do a tune up on my car, but not just the normal spark plugs, wires and dizzy cap. I already replaced those but I want to replace a lot more. What Im asking is, what other parts should be replaced for a real thurough tune-up? Fuel Filter? O2 sensor? Throw me some suggestions or your own personal lists.

Also, the reason im asking you guys this is because 1) I want a reliable car and 2) I just put a ZC in and I know its not as powerful as it should be. Ive driven ZC's before and know it should be faster, I want to give it a real good tune-up and gain the lost power back.

Fluids - oil, trans fluid, coolant // you could even flush the brake system & power steering if available.
Parts - Plugs, Plug wires Cap, Rotor, PCV valve, Air filter, Timing belt, Water pump, P/s belt, Alt. belt,a/c belt, fuel filter
Services - Front & Rear brake service(clean/lube/adjust), Valve adjustment, set timing, set idle
I think that about covers all normal "tune-up" realted stuff -- Purchase a Helms repair manual -- maintenance schedule & how-to is included

I just put a ZC in and I know its not as powerful as it should be.
I feel like a complete idiot but I thought you people might get a good laugh out of it. Ive been thinking to myself as Ive been driving the recently installed ZC that it doesnt seem powerful really, it almost feels like the brakes are stuck on or something. Guess what... thats right, my brakes have been stuck on the whole time. I need to replace the metal brake lines that run under the intake manifold. Fun...:thumbsdow :banghead: :disappoin
