Default Tune-Up

ok, i'm gonna be doing a tune up (158,000 miles) soon and need to know what i should do/replace

so far i got on my shopping list:
----------------------------------------
[] Spark Plugs (what kind?)
[] Plug Wires (what kind?)
[] Distro Cap (what kind?)
[] Timing-Belt and waterpump (...can i DIY, or not?)


anything else?

btw, will fuel injector cleaner help at all? my dad say's no because i driving long distances everyday (12 miles, 1/2 hour drive to town) and burn all the "bad junk" away...he says to just run Premium Gasoline once and a while

I would buy all OEM stuff (Honda) and don't run premium gas, it's not needed, it would just be a waste of money, especially with the gas prices today!

You can get your Honda parts cheap at www.hondaautomotiveparts.com

Well, since you do have a lot of miles, I guess I would use fuel injector cleaner.
