Hello. I have a 98 saturn sl2 with about 142k miles. I want to do a major tune up on the car. It currently runs ok but have no idea when the last owner tuned it up. Besides plugs and wires what else do you recommend me to change. I am tryin to keep the car for as long as i can. Also, what common issues with this model should i keep a look out for? Thanks
