Welcome to MF.

For a good tune up-

Change the plugs
Fuel filter
Oil/Oil filter
I would change the tranny fluid
Rear end fluid
New air filter

+1 or Just buy a K&N Intake instead of new filter.

But wait, why do they sell wires for my car? the coils packs are not attached to the wires are they?

Are the NGKI TR 55 a good choice for plugs?
