Tune up on a 2000 XJ 4.0
So looking under the hood it looks like a Coil on Plug set up. Is there a wire set? Anyone have any suggestions on plugs (I know thats opening a can of worms but I have to ask). Fuel filter? Is it servicable?
The reason Im looking to do this is that my mileage went from 16-17 first two tanks of fuel to 13.5 this last tank. Id rather spend my $ on a lift and tires but I just bought this thing and want to make sure its 100% before I do that.

For plugs Bosch Plat. 2's is what we use, but Autolites are just as good.
For fuel filter info go to autozone.com and go to the how-to section, that is the best I can do for that.

Thanks guys. As far aas the plugs go Ill probally stay away from Champion but I was thinking of going Platinum. Sounds like the fuel filter is in the tank part of the fuel module. I have to build an "airbox" to keep the heat of the filter the way it is now (ghettoed buy previous owner) and do a set of plugs in it see if that helps.

I usually save the Champions for my lawn equipment. Ive had pretty good luck with Bosch. Ive run them in everything from 350 Chevys, Suzukis, Geos, but I know some motors dont like them. But if other are running them Im willing to give them a chance. How much of a pain are they to change?
