yo also might want to do the timing belt, especially if youre not sure last time its been done.

 

[97eagletalonesi]

ok. its already going to the shop to get the tentioners replaced one broke. so they might replace already. but i will add that to the list

fuel filter ( where is this located)

On your car, it's just in front of the rear passenger side wheel well up behind the rocker panel. If you look up just in front of that wheel well, you can't miss it. Little can with banjos on each end. Lots of fun to change for the fisrt time. Gets a lot of shit on it there and the bolts like to stay put. I suggest you have a smoke while working on it. It'll put hair on your chest, son.

ok anything else that might get overlooked or anything how about the injectors would it be a good idea to change those out too.

 

[IceDragon]

buddy, injectors cost a ton, and noone really replaces them until they go bad... but i do recommend you put in some stuff such as the 4 cylinder engine restore formula in your oil when you change that, and some fuel injector cleaner or fuel gas treatment cleaner into your fuel next time you gas up to go those injectors cleaner...

 

[97eagletalonesi]

how much do injectors cost

 

[IceDragon]

the cheapest i have seen were 50 bux each, and you need 4... so thats 200 bux... but seriously man, you probably don't need to replace yours, just run the injector cleaner... my engine was idling all weird after i tuned it, than i ran some generic brand injector cleaner in and it has been idling fine now, and i have no complaints... i just think you shouldn't worry about those injectors... but i do recommend you put those fluid additives i stated above into your car, I run them all and my engines at 135,000 miles and my mechanic is amazed at how well my car still performs...

 

[97eagletalonesi]

200 bux aint bad im just trying to replace the things to kept the motor in tip top shape, with 127xxx miles i figure stuff like that needs attiontion too

 

[Denji]

If you were the kind of guy that liked to waste money, you wouldnt be worried about tuning up your car to this extent (primarily the injectors). But hey man, its your 200.. go for it if you want. (timing belt will cost you 500 if you dont do it yourself)

 

[dustyb]

his timing belt tensioner is going to cost him 500 bucks to fix since its smashed. if you have so much money to put into your car, just replace the pistons/rods, bore your block .020 over, port and polish your head, new springs/retainers/valves/cams/rockers/lifters and while you're at it, put a turbo kit on it. money well spent.

 

[97eagletalonesi]

i dont have that much money im laid off right now i was just trying to figure out what all needs attiontion too, and plus i was just saying 200 bux aint bad since u all dont recomend im not doing that.
