Alright, since I have been having minor problems, I'm going to give the car a tune up.

Mines about to be 50k, 2002.

Heres what i have so far:

Transmission flush
Radiator flush
Power Steering flush
Fuel injection cleaning
Air filter
Spark plugs
PCV valve
Throddle body cleaning

Any brands that are recommended for any? some services ive done about 10k ago but why not do it again

Trans Flush: any of the ATF+4 fluids on the market will work.

Radiator Flush: Mopar HOAT or Zerex G-05

Power Steering Flush: not needed, but if you want to and it takes atf then any of the ATF+4, if it takes power steering fluid then get the mopar stuff. i dont know what mixes with it, so get mopar.

fuel injection: seafoam

air filter: if the make it in the size for a neon then the pureone air filter is supposed to be an awesome filter. other wise, a K&N for a performance filter, or any of the paper filters for non-performance.

spark plugs: NGK v-power for standard copper, NGK Iridiums for an upgraded plug.

pcv valve: i got mine at autozone.

throttle body: probably could use a little of the seafoam on a rag.

I'm assuming anything MOPAR has to be bought at the dealer?

yeah, sometimes they can be bought elsewhere like Mopar ATF+4 is available at walmart more of the time.

For the fuel injectors take each injector out and make sure that no crud is in the screens in them.

I'd add some plug wires to the mix as well, and when I got my gallon of coolant it was ~$18.

I'd go with OEM stuff all around, as stated above.

Also, if you havent changed the plug wires in awhile, those are a good way to get a little performance back from a tired ignition system. Same goes for the stock coils. And it wouldnt hurt to swap in fresh timing belts as well, if you have the means. Check out the other belts as well, and do a full underhood and underbody inspection. Check for leaks, damaged components, the whole nine. That's my version of a good tune up. Good luck.

Yeah, the MOPAR coolant is about $18ish. The Zerex is about $12. It is available at Pepboys, and sometimes Autozone.
