When a 94 Acura Legend LS gets a tuneup what is done besides changing the spark plugs? Want to do my own. Thx
Where can I purchase an OBD scanner/code reader for 94 Legend? I
hear the OBD II scanners only work on 96 and newer vehicles.
Lots of double talk from the local tuneup techs. Heck, I can change
the plugs if that's all they do since they assert they can not read the
codes with the OBD II scanner/reader. Can someone who tuned up a 91 95 Legend give me the steps and I will attempt it myself.
I has been quoted $28.95 per plug x six and enough labor to make the
final price be $230. I appreciate your help. thanks.

Ouch. costly. A tune up could comprise of plugs, rotor, distributor cap and maybe the plug wires if it's still the originals I could seriously think about it after twelve years Also change the air cleaner and pcv filter or unit . Plugs are cheaper than that. Go to an autoparts store for your stuff. It doesn't have to Acura factory parts. They overcharge like every dealer .
This will do you good, for a lot less.
Do change the plugs when the engine is cold like overnight cold .

Usally when a car gets a tune up, it gets new plugs,wires, and a new timing belt, also they check the valves condition and spacing and replace/adjust, if needed.

Dude, If you'd want to do it yourself, pickup a 'Haynes" manual from your nearest parts shop. The book is less than $20. & has all the information for you on your car. it is a great lesson that'll save ya big $ for many years . as well, you will learn that platnum plugs last about 80k miles. Do a fuel filter,if it is inline, every two years, etc, etc....Good Luck & join us, we need more MotorHeads .

usually when cars get a tuneup what you are really talking about is an oil change, like you said the spark plugs, maybe the spark plug wires.that's it.all this everybody can do it.and it does not take that much time.

Change the plugs, plug wires, check the air filter and replace if needed. I'm not sure if you car has an real distributor and a cap but if it does, readjust the contact points or relaced if needed.
