Tune Up?
Here is a question for the group, when should I perform a normal tune-up and what should it consist of? I am guessing spark plugs, but what about coil packs, and timing etc? What spark plugs would be recommended? Car is running fine but is starting to get close to the 100k mile stone so I am guessing I need to begin planning the tune-up.....Thanks in advance for any advice provided......Phil

New plugs, check belt, check fluids, oil change, scan codes, change fuel filter if you have not done so in a while, check the specific gravity of the radiator coolant, you could check your battery.

I don't know if it makes a difference with the LS1 or not, But I am a firm beliver in NGK plugs. I run them in everything. I know nothing is harder on a set of plugs than a jetski. (2 cycle and long periods of idling) I have had several Seadoo's and NGK's were by far the best. For some reason they dont foul out as easy. They work good in cars,boats, everything I have found. Just my $.02
