You should just change the spark plugs and take carb. cleaner and clean the throttle body butterfly and throat while your under the hood.
Drive your vehicle and see how it runs. If the wires and/or a coil are not good, you'll get a trouble code that tells you which cylinder needs attention.
Thanks. I didn't know I even have a carb! I know I have injectors and an air intake with a filter for that, and some sort of sensor that does air/fuel mix, because it was dirty and they cleaned it in hopes that it would not need replacing.
I did have codes showing that air/fuel mix sensor was not right before they cleaned it. All way too modern for my tiny brain! I was ok with a 1973 Datsun truck back in the day. Oh well. I think I should still be able to change a spark plug though. How much can they make that too complicated nowadays? I know, there is no
limit. :(
I am going to give it a try thanks to what I have learned so far. The auto parts shop I like says the OEMs are iridium despite the story they were platinum. They have lasted 150,000kms (about 94K miles)if that is a clue. Don't care, am getting the iridiums as replacements like the auto store says and the wire kit and we will see how it all goes.
