I'm in the same boat, I have a 2000 GT and put on an O/R X so I'm buying a tuner to kill the CEL. Been reading up on tuners and I think I'm going with the Diabosport Predator. HP increases from what I've read aren't that great but I'm just looking to fix my problem.

For a tune up. You would do spark plugs. Also i like to do a fuel filter, air filter or clean your k@n if you have one.

Depends on how deep you wanna' go. Plugs and wires, for sure. Check your air and fuel filters. Cleaning the MAF may not be a bad idea as well. For safety's sake you can check your belt...

You are correct...ya don't have spark plug wires, ya have COP's. And +1 on changing the fuel filter.
