Tune up time...:)

I haven't really done a major tune up since I bought my 95 z28 a couple years ago. I'm feeling like the car is being a bit sluggish, and I'm hoping a good tune will do it some good.
Here's what has been done so far:
fuel filter
collant flush
oil changes (of course)
plugs and wires
clean and oil the K&N

what else needs to be done to freshen her up? car has 94k miles.

Thanks,
-mj

change out the blinker fluid and repack the muffler bearings


you could pull the throttle body and make sure its not all gunked up with oil and or coolant and give it a good cleaning
drain and fill the rearend gear oil and trans fluid, bleed the brakes completely and refill. try and hose off your radiator its bound to have crap all over it
you have most of the bases covered

thx for the info...forgot to mention that I blew out the rear about 6 months ago and had a new one put in...so I think i'm clear on the rear end fluid...

I do have some questions about the trans fluid...anyone have any tips on doing a full flush?

Thx,

If you car has never had an opti you might want to seriously check into that why you are doing this and a water pump!! It will cost some $ but most of the time it's those two causing the problems.

Go into Napa and pick a bottle of Seafoam or go to Chevy dealer and get some GM Top engine cleaner. It made a difference on my car.

Do a search for Seafoam and you will find tons of info about it.
