RE: Tune-up time

["Ng, Kevin" <Kevin.Ng@bankofamerica.com>]

I've tried a lot of different plugs, and, at least on my car, I took the
Pepsi challenge and could not tell the difference. Stick with the stock NGK
ones or go with the Bosch FR8-somethings. If you wanna throw money away and
be really exotic go for the Beru's.

You can get the metal boot puller from Potterman or Velocity. It wasn't
cheap ($40 or $50 IIRC), but still worth it.

Also change your serpentine (accessory) belt (~$65 Potterman), and check all
fluids.

	Hi Everyone...
	Sorry if this topic has been done to death, I was unsubscribbed for
a while.

	It's time to tune up my 98 GLX (60K miles).  Rather than take it to
a
	dealer, who will mearly replace the plugs and then charge me a
fortune...
	I've decided to do it my self.  Any suggestions on the best plug to
use?
	Also... on where to get the special spark plug tool?  Anything else
I should
	check/replace?

	Thanks
	John L
