Default Doing a tune-up on my car today.

I am going to try doing a tune-up on my car today for the first time. I just wanted to know if there was a specific process to doing one. I know that a tune up consist of changing the oil, the spark plugs, the fuel filter, air filter, the rotors, and the spark plug wires. If anyone can give me any suggestions as quick as possible. I would appreciate it. Thank you.

if your not too familiar with plugs and wires the best way to do it is to do one at a time so you dont get the wires wrong.

so when it comes to spark plugs, and the spark plug wires, do them one at a time to be in the safe side. Thanks. Is there anything else. Everything else doesn't really matter in what order you do them.

How hard was changing the fuel filter?

I am thinking about doing that myself instead of paying $90 to a mechanic.
