100k maintenance done

first time did it myself. took about 4 hours, easy going, w/ lunch break. changed plugs, fuel filter, air filter, cleaned TB and IACV, adjusted throttle cable, and adjusted idle speed. it's much easier then i though. i had some hard time with fuel filter, but it took my roomate about 20 seconds to pull those hoses off (i couldn't, probably didn't pull hard enough). IACV takes about 5-10 minutes to remove. a tip for changing fuel filter: take air intake out, and get the hoses off with hard pull & twist action. the only thing that i am concerned about is maybe i overtightened the plugs

will also take car to shop to flush coolant and tranny fluid

I would just recommend you do a coolant drain and fill and a tranny drain and fill. As long as you do the drain-fills every 2 yrs, then I don't think a flush is entirely necessary.

Good work nevertheless.

Don't over look the power steering fluid and your brake fluid. They need to be changed as well.
