Tune-up help

Looking for ideas on what I should get for a tune up for my 95 SE. I recently has the timing belt and all other belts changed at the dealer. I was wondering if a tune-up is a typical wires, cap, rotor, and plugs, or should i be replacing more than that. I have changed the air filter and the pvc valve also.

Any help is appreciated

It depends on your mileage and time frame of the car.

The helms manual has an excellent maintenance schedule.

what's the mileage on the vehicle? Did the shop/person who did the timing belt adjust the valves as well? If you wanted to cover your grounds, and since you replaced your air filter recently as well, I would:

- Change the spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and distributor rotor.
- Change the engine oil
- Change the transmission fluid (I highly recommend using the honda fluid on this)
- Change the coolant

85 K on the car. Oil has been changed and due for another since I bought it. Seals were done with the timing belt and the valves have been adjusted. Coolant was changed during belt change.

Did they change the water pump with the timing belt?

At 85,000 miles looks like what you mentioned before should cover it, spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and distributor rotor.

You can just check the spark plug gaps and not change them if they're still very close to OEM specs, or just spend the $10 and change them.

Check the cap and rotor for corrosion and wear, but again, it's not too expensive to change it anyways.
