Doing the warranty emissions tune-up thing

The 97 CL has that warranty on emissions, anywhere between 75k and 150k you can have your sparks, wires, etc replaced.

I'm having that done right now, and got a TSX loaner....5-speed auto....slowest hunk of shit in the world.

But anyways, I just broke the 75k mark and decided to do it before I sell the car.

Who else has done it? I hope it helps the ride, and makes it feel like new!

Was this warranty free, or did you have to pay for it.

OK I DID THE TUNE UP!

Here are the results:

They replaced my:
Ignition Kit
Spark Plugs / Wires
Oil Filter
Washer Drain

That's all they did.

Everything seems to be running the same, maybe cuz my wires and sparks weren't bad at all.

But it was basically a free replacement of everything, and a free oil change

I also got to have the TSX for 5 days! hahahah that wasn't too bad.

All in all, always nice to say "just had the car tuned up" since I am going to sell it.
