100k tune up..
 
Okay, so for my 100k tune up, i changed my oil, advance had a sale 5 quarts of mobil 1 with a mobil 1 filter with check valve and all that for 30 bucks, cant beat it. Changed my PCV valve. Flushing radiator fluid tomorrow. And changed my plugs from those suck ass bosch platinum 2's to some good old autolite copper plugs, 1.79 each. car runs like a top feels like. Anything else i should do? Im thinkin bout flushing the tranny and redoin all fluid and filter. gimme some more things.

Change the tranny fluid and change the power steering fluid too. Then clean the maf, IAC, EGR, and IAT and you will be good as new.

mine doesnt have an IAT, i have that hole plugged off on the CAI too.. mines an 02, did they remove it for that year?

Didn't know yours was so new. They moved it into the maf in 01 for the GT's and I am not sure when they did that for the v6's.

MAF: spray electronics cleaner. Don't touch the sensor with ANYTHING but spray unless you're a pro.
IAC: remove and spray carefully with carb cleaner. Don't get any in the electric parts, just the metal stuff.
IAT: In 2001.5 they moved the IAT to the side of the main body of the MAF sensor. You'll know because your MAF will have 6 wires instead of 4. Treat just like you would the MAF.
EGR: Remove, spray the livin shit out of it with carb cleaner.

On GT's 2 of those parts are on your plenum so you could just as well pull the upper plenum as well and give it a shoot with the carb cleaner especially through the EGR hole in the back. And might as well clean the TB while you're there.

thanks alot red
Ill just research their possition and clean them out.(be doing the tune up tomorrow)

If you haven't done it recently a rear-end flush wouldn't hurt, and if you changed plugs the wires may need changing too, again, if they are stock and haven't already been changed. Also, the manual says to replace the shocks/struts at 60,000. I'll be doing it soon but it's expensive and that is not a very urgent replacement anyhow.

yea i changed my wires along with my plugs about 5 months ago.. My car is actually at the shop right now getting its oil change and i told them to drain my steering wheel fluid cause it smells burned big time!.
I got my tokyco hp's about 4 months as well so im good on that side.
i've never done the rear end nor the transmition so i may do that within this next two months
