tune up (simple things), car n00b Options

[brianforster]

Im on a mission to restoring my car to near factory condition , as far as I can. And Im going to do a few things soon.

Plugs and Wires, and fuel filter, I think I can manage.

Can someone help with fuel filter placement and how to install a new one.

What other things would help make the car run better and smoother (idle doesnt sound too pretty as seen on the other thread)

I'm also very new to cars (can change plugs and wires pretty easily, change oil, gonna change fuel filter soon with your help)

My friend is going to help me with brakes soon.


How much do timing belt changes usually cost, Im pretty sure I'm due for one of those soon, but i know thats probably the last thing on the list cause its the most expensive.

timing belts are just normally changed every certain milage, i can't really think of it, but someone probably knows. Hyp3R, just get a tooth brush, some brake cleaner, or some really strong cleaning agent, and spray the tooth brush. Then you open up the butterfly on your throttle body, and scrub scrub scrub (the inside and the butterfly).
