Tune up kit?

Post by AlanS »

Funny, I can't seem to find tune up parts on-line for my 2001 S40. FCP Groton only has spark plugs and wires. No cap or rotor.
Am I missing something here? There is a distributor, isn't there? Where is a good place to p/u parts at a decent price?
That said...what plugs do I get? Seems to be three types.
Car is running rough, I know that it has not had new ignition parts in 20,000miles or so.
So, Plugs, Cap, Rotor, Wires (?)...anything else?

There is no cap and rotor. Ignition timing is controlled by the ECM.

Inspect the engine coil pack boots on the spark plugs for cracked rubber. If cracked, replace.
