I'm just guessing at the prices, I have a V8 F-Body:

Air cleaner: $10.00
6 Spark plugs: $12.00
Fuel filter: $12.00
Can of Sea Foam: $8.00 (to run through a 1/2 tank of gas to clean your fuel injectors....THEN you change the fuel filter)

1 hour of your time.

Thats it.

You could also do a top end cleaning of your engine, that will require one more can of Sea Foam.

***Assuming nothing is broken or worn out***

Don't forget the wires - around $40. Oh and it will probably take a LOT longer than 1 hour to do IMO...

No need at all to do wires....unless they're messed up for some reason. Factory plug wires last forever. My factory wires on my 427ci are 11+ years old from when I bought my car in 1998.

I guess maybe 1 1/2 hours. Its a V6.
