What all do I need for a Tune up?

[bonestock3.8DTH]

I need to do a tune up on my car and I know to get spark plugs and spark plug wires but what else do I need to get? I know its dumb/noob question to ask but I don't have my haynes manual with me and am not real sure what all I need. but help would be appreciated!

Cap/rotor, oil change, air filter, fuel filter.

Well I went out and bought spark plugs and wires so now Im out of money (high schooler working odd ball side jobs = no reliable income = not much cash on hand), BUT at advance the man said my car didn't have a cap/rotor that it was electric ignition I haven't read up on that part of my car yet so I just took his advice, and I did the air filter a couple months ago but thanks man!

My bad, I overlooked the V6 part. You could also flush the coolant if you're not so sure when the last time it was changed. Same with the tranny and rear end fluid, usually aren't done on "regular" tune-ups but are sometimes suggested on "major" ones

The coil pack could need changing, but I wouldn't consider it a major need. I would change the fuel filter as well

Put a KNN filter in there, worth the extra change.

Like was already said, the coil pack may not be a bad idea if you are looking for better refreshing.

The coolant flush can be done relatively cheap.
I was in your shoes about a year ago, so don't feel bad

When you get your first real pay check you are going to crap your pants.
Then after a few months you get to the "I don't get enough for this" point ;p
