Howdy all,

Car is running a little rough for my liking .. its just making too much noise.

I am going to do a minor service myself .. wanna make sure I haven't forgotten anything


Oil (brand?)
Oil Filter (brand?)
Plugs (Brand)

Have replaced leads recently, but I will check them with MM.

Transmission fluid/Power steering seems ok.. i dont wanna play with this.

Anything else?

After this i will reset the ECU

Check distributor cap and rotor, and coil packs. Usually coil packs totally die, but I have read reports of people getting better performance by replacing them.

Hmm i was under the impression the Dizzy was the Coil Pack .. or are they different?

I have taken apart both dizzies and clean them up, check rotors - all good (not that they really needed it)

She isn't running bad just a bit louder then i would have liked. feels like one of the sparks might not be firing

After drowning my engine last month I should have replaced all the SP anyway.

Awesome!

Any easy way I can check the Coil pack to make sure it's all good?

Also - my lead from the the diz to coil is no where near as long as that. Feeling I might have them back the front. Is the OHMs between the Diz 2 to coil2(?) the same as Diz1 coil 1?

jol, the primary of the coils will measure close to zero ohms. from either of the primaries to the HT output is ~12k ohms. both coils measure the same. i have been told they are the same as a early model camry coil, but have not verified that myself.
