Canadian Tire. Why would you buy parts from Canadian tire. Go to the dealer and get yourself a good deal and use OEM Honda parts.

Jusy my thoughts...

when doing a tune up ALLWAYS go with OEM parts.

when i did mine i did, oil change, rad flush, fuel filter, plugs, distributor cap, rotor, and a through inspection of cables and hosses to see if they need replacing.

i paid $130 for all OEM parts With out a discount

Ok, here is a question :


What are really good aftermarket plugs, dizzy cap, rotor, fuel filter, rad fluid, oil, etc.

I have Redline tranny fluid in my basement, I think i'm going to be putting that in when I take my car back out.

You mean your getting an afterfire from your exhaust (it's an afterfire because it's after the cpmbustion cycle). It might be starting to rust out.

Hold onto your cash and check a few things first. Read your plugs before you replace them. Test your wires for resistance to see if their within spec.... pinch the hose going to your pcv valve and listen for a clicking noise.. if it clicks, its fine. Test your O2 for proper voltage and see if that needs replacing. The point is, you can test for things before blowing a wad of cash and a lot of that info is available in a Honda shop manual. If you have to end up replacing everything anyway, well at least your learned something new.
