Subject:basic "tune up" makes a noticable difference
From:Allan Streib

I replaced the plugs, wires, cap and rotor on my 2.1 WBX today.  I used
all Bosch replacements, and I know that Bosch is mostly made in India
now and not what it used to be, but I had a real hodgepodge of
unfamiliar name (or no name) parts on there before and had no idea how
old any of it was.

It did make a difference -- the engine runs smoother at idle and it
seems to accelerate a bit better and have a bit more power.  So, if
you've not replaced this stuff in a while, it can be worth doing.
