Re: Tune-up question

A tune-up for the 30,000 mile interval would include the following 
parts:
New spark plugs
New distributer cap and rotor
New ignition wires
New fuel filter
New air filter
New oxygen sensor
Any other parts that are found to be worn out like vacuum hoses, vee 
belts, etc
Some of the work that would need to be done includes replacing of all 
of the above parts and:
Adjust valves
Check ignition timming
Compression test of all cylinders
Check fuel mixture adjustment
Clean and test the fuel injectors
Verify that all engine systems are functioning properly
Load test battery
Usually do a grease job, oil change, and a complete visual inspection 
of the entire car noting any missing, broken, or worn parts. If the 
brake, clutch and coolant fluids are old, flushing and replace with 
new.
The best thing you can do is to reference the Workshop Manual as it 
can give you all the details you need. Some people may just "throw" in 
a set of new spark plugs and call it a complete tune-up. From this 
short description you can see it really is a lot more than that. Most 
shops take their cue from the owner as to how much he wants to spend.
