My max is do for a tune up. Im not sure if i should attempt it myself or send it to the shop. I enjoy learning things and i have basic knowledge to work on cars from being a body man but i see that the plugs look hard to get at. I would appriciate it if someone can reply and let me know if it is a pain in the *** to do the tune up or if it isnt too bad. I also would like to know if i will need any special tools besides sockets.

Thanks

You can do all the basic tuneup stuff yourself if you've got the tools, patience, beer, and a shop manual.

visit the MaxLinks and you'll find a bunch of tech writeups on some of these items.

here's a list of stuff if you haven't made one already:
plugs
PCV valves
o2 sensors
fuel filter
air filter (upgrade!)
clean throttle body
adjust throttle cable linkage
