After how many miles Geo Prizm needs Tune Up? What all should be done in Tune up?

Question:
I have 1997 Geo Prizm 1.6 L. The Previous owner had replaced spark plugs at 95000 Miles. Now the odometer shows 115000 Miles.
Do I need to do Tune Up? The Auto shop asked me to change spark plugs, Wire Set, Dist Cap and Dist Rotor. Do I need to change all these or Can I change just Spark Plugs?

Answers:

4-stroke motors in-take valves.?

Change them again at 120,000 miles (regular service interval) or 125,000 miles... generally it's every 30,000 miles !
It would be wise to change at least the wire set every 60,000... but the rotor and cap should be changed along with the plugs ! I would recommend that you have the timing belt replaced at that time as well... rule of thumb with the timing belt is every 60,000 miles !

Added green antifreeze to red,cars runing hot what can be done?.?

you can just change the spark plugs but thats not going to make the car run any better cause you have to change it all like the dist cap and rotor and wires and air filter and and of course plugs and then you might want to do a oil change too after all you are doing a tune up why stop there why not do it all at the same time that way its out of the way and you wont have to worry about it for a while and it is recomended that you do a tune up and oil change every 6 months depending on how much driven you do if its a lote then you might want to do it in 4 months cause oil gets dirty quick and plugs get worn out fast and do get black and get very hot so thats about the best i can tell you for now after all i have worked on cars for over 13 yrs and im a ase certafied mechanic and have my own shop so i hope this helps thanks....
