Ok looking through a couple of recent threads it got me thinking. What exactly is a "tune up" on a VE motor? Below is what I came up with, please add, subtract or modify as needed to get a complete 190k tune up done.

Plugs
Wires
Injectors
IM cleaning
Motor flush
Timing belt ( dont know when it was done last )
Fuel Filter ( upgrade to 300Z, while I'm there)
Air Filter ( of course upgrade to CAI, again while I'm there )


See any glaring errors? Did I miss anything?

Definately the wires and timing belt.

like Jeff was saying, we dont have plug wires or a timing belt

what are your plans for a motor flush? I wouldn't bother with any chemicals aside from Seafoam/Marvel Mystery Oil.

PCV valve
check the vacuum lines for cracks/brittleness
coolant flush

Napa can get it for you

Every single autoparts chain here has it. Advanced, Pep Boys, O'Reillys, Napa.....Only the mom and pap places usually don't carry it.

there have been a few guys on here i've told to check napa, the guys there didn't carry it/know about it. When the Napa got it in it was selling like hotcakes

Heck my local Napa switched ownership 2 years ago, the new owners never carried Seafoam, started stocking it at their other store and told me it was selling like crazy at the old store.

if your going to pull the manifold and fuel rails replace ALL rubber fuel lines and vacum hoses

also O2 sensor if original
