Does anyone has any idea what parts can I buy to autozone or Pepboys for my VX to tune up my car?

Thanks in advance

PCV valve

Make sure you get the one piece PCV valve - one of these guys (Pep Boys, I believe) carries a two piecer that set off my check engine light and cost me $70 to find out what the cause was. It apparently doesn't seal well between the 2 pieces after some use and vibration - letting air into the system.

The Purolator unit from Pep Boys is one piece.

You can also get a new battery (if you need one, I suggest an Optima red) from Pep Boys. Also, you can find trim-to-fit mudflaps there.

Also stock up on degreaser and 'carb' cleaner. It'll make routine maintenance a lot easier if you keep your engine compartment clean.
