I think my car is in need of a tune badly. What all do i need for a tune up on a 98 so i can do it myself, I am just really not looking forward to replacing the #4 plug (i beleive), pain in the ass. Where is the fuel filter located at also, and how hard is it to do by yourself, what steps do i take to replace fuel filter. Thanks for any info. [worship]

Get plugs, wires, and fuel filter. Start with that. The plugs hould take 30-45 minutes to change. The fuelfilter is located in front of the fuel tank.Make sure you are wearing safety goggles when doing it. It will leak down yor arm.
