should be plugs only
Unless you need new wires, a tune up for your car should be plugs only.
Your model, fortunately, does not have caps and rotors (I'm pretty sure). If it did - you'd really be in need of a tune-up by now. You can do plug wires if you want, but unless the resistance is out of spec, it may not improve anything. Best of Luck, Troy 1995 E420 83k |

Do-it-yourselfer plug wire check...
The easiest plug wire check...
Raise the engine hood/bonnet on a very dark night... With the engine warm and ideling observe spark plug wires area... [with total darkness no sparking should be seen] If any "arcing and sparking" [tiny blue flashes of light] are observed, plug wires are faulty... Another test was to have a spray bottle with fine mist adjustment, and spray misty water above the plug wires area and watch for sparking... Only recommended if you live in a dry low humidity area... The final test was to test internal resistence with an ohm meter on each and every wire... The going rate is that each wire should have @1,000 ohms resistence... |
