What to replace in a honda accord 98 to run better/efficient?

Recently bought an 98 honda accord. Mileage is 191k. Previous owner took real good care of it. I been driving it for 3weeks. Runs funny and maybe its time to replace something in engine to help the car run better like it was new maybe.

example:spark plugs.

I'm not trying to upgrade my car or anything. Car use is just for work and school until i finish college :)

Tips,suggestion,advice are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time reading this :))

    Running funny could be a sign of a worn out distributor. Honda distributors are fairly weak and after 191K miles it may be pretty funky. You will want to get that diagnosed by a Honda specialist - one who lives Hondas rather than a dealer mechanic who just wants it to go away.

    Since you mention spark plugs, remove them (or at elast the spark plug wires from the plugs) and see if they are swimming in oil. That happens when the tube seals leak. They are part of the valve cover gasket set and work best if coated with blue sensor-safe form-a-gasket. Oil in the tubes produces behavior commonly called "sputtering."

    this is incredibly ordinary. you won't have the capacity to debris it up There might desire to be 2 screws on the backside of the right component of the black bezel. Unscrew those and set aside the screws. intently pull from the backside of the bezel in the direction of you and fairly up. it might come out. as quickly as this is off, you will see only your gauge cluster with the plastic cover nonetheless intact. there will be the two a million or 2 screws on each left and proper area screwed right into a metallic physique. Unscrew those and set the screws aside. you may desire to have the skill to pull the cluster out, yet be careful there are plugs related. in case you prefer extra area to artwork you could unplug the plugs (do not hardship approximately remembering which works the place, they are in a position to basically in high-quality condition into one place). to do away with the plugs you're might desire to squeeze in the two facets (tabs) concurrently. After that only turn the cluster around and unscrew the bulbs that would desire to get replaced by turning a a million/2 turn and pulling out :)!
