MY 2.3 JUST TURNED 50K MILES, SHOULD I CHANGE THE PLUGS & WIRES? IF SO WHAT IS A GOOD KIND TO GET... I'M NOT RUNNING NOS, STOCK FOR THE TIME BEING. ALSO, WHAT ELSE IS A GOOD THING TO DO WHILE DOIN A TUNE-UP.. I GOT THE CAR WITH 48K MILES, I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAS DONE, SO I WAS GONNA DO THE WORKS???

If your car is not heavily modded the Bosch Platinum +4 works great.. they're 4.99 each at autozone/pepboys.... wires should be ok..

Replace air filter

Timing belt is due at 60k miles so.. might as well change the belts..

Clean fuel system / replace fuel filter

No specific tune up at 50K (45K or 60K)

-oil and oil filter
-air filter
-pcv valve
-distributor cap & rotor
-new plugs
-check belts and replace if needed (not timing belt)
-tranny fluid (GENUINE HONDA!!!!)
-if u want to get nuts fuel filter but it is a bitch to change, everything else is easy

if these things haven't been changed for a while you will notice the diff right away. smoother idle, better throttle response, more mpg, better performance

-pcv valve {what is this? where do i get one
-distributor cap & rotor {???
-new plugs What type do you recomend?

on the 5spd how do you change it? from the bottom (and how)?

when do you replace the timing belts? Can you replace them at 65k abd still be safe?

Man, I can't believe the differences in the 2.2 and the 3.0 with some of the "change " intervals.
