7th gen 50,000 mile tune up.... - 7/18/2008 6:00:32 AM    winndogg34 Posts: 36 Joined: 3/18/2008 Status: offline Just reached 50k on the 04 Accord.... was looking to do a tune up myself rather than pay the dealership 300-400 to do 90% of the things i can do in my garage as of right now i am planning on doing the following. -  Air filter is K&N (so im just gonna clean it) -  cabin air filter replace -  replace all sparkplugs (any suggestions to performance plugs???) -  replace fuel filter (any suggestions to specific fuel filters? or are they all similiar) -  obviously top off everything that needs topping off.... check all loose wires, pipes, tubes -  air pressure in tires anything else i should think about doing? i was debating getting spark plug wires.... i''ve seen these range from $30-$250 is it necessary? will i notice anything by replacing them? should i flush my system?   anything im missing? thanks... _____________________________ 2004 LX Sedan 2.4L AT Injen RD Intake (CAI) Bosch Platinum LR Fusion Iridium Plugs Progress Technology 22mm Rear Sway Pioneer DEH-6400 Infinity 6.5''''''''''''''''s Rockford Fosgate Amp JL12W3V2 Grill-Tech grill LingLong 225/45/ZR17 Post #: 1

I don''''t know if you even have a fuel filter (my 6th gen doesn''''t), but I don''''t have a 7th gen so I''''m not 100% sure. See what your user manual says for service as well.

No fuel filter, so thats the same as Jons 2000 Accord. _____________________________ '03 Accord & '07 Civic '01 Saab 9³ & '05 9²x (in reply to 00AccordLX5spd) Post #: 3
