Engine Tune-Up

Just wanted to compile a list of things for an engine tune-up. There was a bunch of crap I remembered, but I just forgot. I know I'm missing several things, so add to the list if you can, please. FYI I am going to do this on a 1997 Honda Civic EX w/ 128000 miles

Oil change (its about time anyway)
new spark plugs
New spark plug wires
clean and lube throttle body
clean IACV
change air filter

and should I reset the ECU?

On a sidenote.... if I seafoamed the car, would it be recommended to do all of the above afterwards? Thanks

Doesn't resetting the ECU merely involve disconnecting the battery? If so I would expect you to do so if you're going to take out the spark plugs.

why not clean the throttle body and clean out the intake manifold while at it?
