if you have spark plug wires,,, you dont have a gen3~

seafoam the intake vac port and gas tank a week before tune up

Use ONLY NGK Iridium plugs, not some other brand- they will fail in the TL

probably time for cabin air filter and engine air filter

hahaha sorry..... didnt even realize that. I am just use to cars having plug wires.

I am making my list of maintenance to be done on my week of vaca at end of the month. I just bought the car 4 months ago, and want to make sure all is well.

CJ, I just did a tune-up on my car last month. It's easy, although the back 3 plugs are a PITA to get to haha. But it's really not that bad. I seafoamed then changed plugs and engine air filter. I have a cabin air filter on it's way. I also see that you're in Murfreesboro just a ride down the road to Cleveland haha
