Tune-up time

[89 blue lx]

alrighty guys i am going to tune up my car b4 heading back to school on my list so far is

PCV
fuel filter
oil/filter
seafoam
maybe a new iac or clean it



a few questions about these things tho first i have read about the seafoam and what i understand you put it in through the brake booster, if anyone has any pics of exactly how to do this i would appreciate it, also i have never changed the pcv if anyone has a picture of where this is located and how to change it that would be great too. the iac is another thing i was thinking could be wrong due to my car haveing a surging idle any help cleaning or replacing the iac would be good.


if you guys can think of anything else i should do to this beast b4 leaving would be great. thanks

If I remeber right, when I did my seafoam I disconnected the line on top of the brake booster. There should be a topic about seafoam somewhere on here.

The pcv is on the lower intake in the back. Kind of hard to get to.

do you need spark plugs, cap, rotor, wires?

Your PCV is on the passanger side valve cover near the rear of the block [close to the firewall]. You will find it just feel around with your hand.

As a tune-up I'd change the oil, plug wires, plugs, distributer cap, distributer rotor, clean your air filter [and the air box], flush your radiator [i can't remember doing this], rotate tires, and then put 2 bottles of lucas fuel injector cleaner in with half a tank of gas. I know you're suppost to use 1 to a full tank, but 2 in half a tank really cleans your injectors.. Just don't do it too often.

Im pretty sure that the PCV is in the back of the lower intake manifold not the valve cover.

It is. Most cars have them right on the valve cover but not ours.
