help tuning up

[mastashea20]

so i am sick of my low gas milage of 170-190 on a full tanks so i plan to do the following, change me spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, distributor rotor and thinking about getting a new fuel filter and a new aem air filter for my ebay sri.

if i were to do this would it help me improve gas milage i am trying to reach around 300 miles off a full tank i have heard of people getting 350 on a d16y8 so i plan to get my numbers up there.

where should i buy these parts from and should they be oem or what? i just really want to get my milage up and everything.

along with this i plan to use some seafoam and see what will happen from that.

Buy OEM plugs, wires, cap, and rotor.

[RonJ]

Very likely. How old are the current ones?

 

[mastashea20]

Also, i've heard that changing the PCV valve will help with MPGs as well. They are only about $3 at your parts store, and i'll be changing mine tomorrow. But it doesnt look that hard.

 

[mastashea20]

where is the pcv line located? any pics?

 

[RonJ]

4 spark plugs are needed:

20282 011 004 SPARK PLUG (ZFR5F-11) (NGK) 2.24

This includes all 4 plug wires:

20271 005 001 WIRE, IGNITION (PRESTOLITE WIRE) 56.69

4 spark plugs are needed:

20282 011 004 SPARK PLUG (ZFR5F-11) (NGK) 2.24

This includes all 4 plug wires:

[mastashea20]

idk i did quantity as 4 for the spark plugs

 

[ibemike]

Would you rather have a gas guzzler or lowering springs? Spend the money fixing your car.

 

[Solsykness]

Should have done all this nine months ago when you bought your car. It's imperative to keep up with stuff like this.

 

[Ninjeff]

yea dude, better fix stuff.

No good to have a low and sexy car that doesnt run because you didn't keep up on maintnence.

 

[RonJ]

so thats 2.24 for all four plugs

$2.24/plug so multiply by 4
