Subject:      basic "tune up" makes a noticable difference

I replaced the plugs, wires, cap and rotor on my 2.1 WBX today. I used all Bosch replacements, and I know that Bosch is mostly made in India now and not what it used to be, but I had a real hodgepodge of unfamiliar name (or no name) parts on there before and had no idea how old any of it was.

It did make a difference -- the engine runs smoother at idle and it seems to accelerate a bit better and have a bit more power. So, if you've not replaced this stuff in a while, it can be worth doing.
