Yes, hi. I would like to know what are the exact parts needed for the tune up?
I need to do a tune up for my 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.3 6 cylinder engine
The reason I am asking is because I went to the auto parts store and they want to sell me more parts than required.

thank you for you time,

How do you know it is more than required?

I would do plugs, wires, fuel and air filter as a start

Yes, that is all true but one store I went was trying to sell me ignition coil and another store said that the 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan does not require it. Yet that store was trying to sell me a PVC -valve when the first store said that the car does not need it (for that year and that model.)

That is why I would like to know what the 2006 DODGE Grand Caravan has that needs to be replaced as a normal part of the tune-up?

Again, I thank you much for your time in advance

May you please list the parts that required to be replaced as a part of the tune up THAT MY 2006 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN HAS?

I simply want to know if ignition or spark plug coils are and can be replaced for 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan or that year model does not require it, because its built perhaps differently. The same goes for the PVC-valve.

P.S. Please excuse my spelling

You do have a coil but dont replace it unless you have a spark failure.

Pcv is ok to replace but can be cleaned.

Parts people are not techs and cannot tell you what you need. Thats the job of a real tech not a parts salesman.

I did list the parts in my answer
