This is my first post so I just want to say what's up to you guys before I start yapping, and forgive me if my questions are dumb.
I plan on doing a tune up on my 2000xj sport on Thursday, and I like for things to go as smoothly as possible, but I'm not quite sure how it's all set up. Am I correct in saying that I have no distributor, but still have wires, cap rotor and 3 coils on my 4.0?
My check engine light came on after only having this vehicle for less than 4k miles, and the code it gave was: cylinder 6 misfire. Do I have to replace the coil just for that cylinder or all of them; if my assumption above is correct?
Also are there any tips or tricks of a basic tune up I should be aware of before this venture? I plan on changing o2 sensor, using NGK copper plugs, with taylor custom fit wires. What gap should I use with these plugs?
A little history of my xj: I bought this from a dealer used w/49k miles on it. I don't think it's ever been tuned up and whoever owned it before me didn't care much for taking exceptional care of their vehicles like I do. But it's straight and runs good w/no accidents which is all I really cared about. I previously owned a 1990 xj 2dr with a 5" lift and 165k miles which still ran great(I should not have gotten rid of it!)
I also recently changed my oil to mobil1 full synthetic--was this a good or bad idea not knowing the previous mechanical history of the vehicle?
Last inquiry-The paint is in good shape except for a few things. Water spots are everywhere on this thing; on the windows and in the paint. Is there a way to get rid of them? And there is a small rust spot on the roof, where the paint came off also; how do i get rid of it and keep it from spreading?
Thanks to anyone and everyone in advance for your responses.
P.S.-I did use the search and found a few answers to other questions
