Spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap/rotor, fuel filter, tranny fluid, and air filter. That stuff can usually lead to a crappy running car. I'd try the plugs first if I were you since they should be changed every 30k on the B18B1 anyways. You are going to want to check on that timing belt too. If it hasn't been changed yet you are running on borrowed time.

And check the valve clearance.

basically, you just need a 100K tune-up. The list above is included in the tune-up schedule.

Reset your ECU----> remove your (+) pos. battery terminal for 1 hour.

Remove the plug in the MAP sensor it is located on the intake side near the throttle plate----> see if your car runs better. if it does then your injectors maybe dirty.
->Ever change your fuel filter?
->When you get you new wire set and plugs, insist on NGK as recommended in the owners manual. Many people get those so called high perfomance wires and plugs, they cause more problems and don't make more power.

Hopefully you don't get ripped off, many auto techs in the States do that.

Dealer if you want to get gouged but probably just a local mechanic you trust would be fine
