Timing belt replacement at 94,500 and regular maint. spark plugs change every 10K since 50,000 miles, whether they need it or not.
Zippy:
Is the Zetec motor the standard 2.0 liter four banger?
What is the reason you change plugs every 10K?
My car idles badly and I'm looking for a cheap fix....
What plugs do you use?
Seems to me I read a plug thread somewhere saying that the wrong plugs can lead to poor idling. I haven't checked yet what plugs are in my car, but that's one thing I'm leaning towards trying for a cheap fix....
