Hello Advisers,
What are the symptoms of a bad tune up kit - plugs, wires, rotors, caps etc.
I just replaced months back my plugs and air filter hoping to get at least 20mpg on combined driving and at least 25mpg on long driving. Changed oil using 10w/40 high mileage castrol. would shifting to synthetic make a difference?
I am the 2nd owner and previous owner have no record of this wires, rotors and caps replacement. Should i change it too, looks good to me, car runs great but i only make 17mpg combined - local indy says that's fair?
thanks

94 850 wagon non turbo 187K, SoCalif.
