ur in the wrong forum....

u should post in this forum:

but a tune up on a 325 would include:

a oil change, cooling system flush, tranny fluid replaced, diff fluid replaced, sparkplugs, coil packs if they are shot....new cabin filter, new fuel filter, ICV cleaning..........................a it would be a good idea to run some Sea Foam through the gas tank, and the brake vacume line..

im sure im missing some things...but 90% of this stuff u can do, and it all is really a piece of cake to do with only simple tools.

does sea foam stink the exhaust up? I've heard from others that the exhaust becomes smokey. I've never used it so...

its meant to do that. the "smoke" is the seafoam being burn off in the cylinders and carrying out carbon & fuel deposites. they will smoke for a bit... but it will subside once it has completed its job
