Don't forget the 02 sensor if it hasn't been replaced lately.

John H's cleaning and testing service was really great. I had them back within 3 days of me shipping them to him. Much cheaper than buying new ones. Car runs much better, more even idle, more power and no dieseling going up hills. I just need a tune-up to adjust the fuel mixture and I'm good to go for the summer. Thanks again for the helpful advice about my washer "scare".
