yea bro......this is what you do

Turn the ignition key to OFF position with the odometer reading showing.

Then turn the key to the ON position while holding down the trip meter reset ****.

Hold down the **** for atleast 5 seconds. The odometer will indicate '000000" and your done.

Hope that helps

fuel filter is inside the fuel tank, you'll need to access the fuel pump to get to that. which usually requires you taking the rear seat cushion out to access that..

there are no spark plug wires on the tc (coil packs), which you would've removed them to replace the spark plugs! and then again you saw them, right?

no you don't have to replace the coil packs, they can be checked for primary/secondary winding resistance with an ohm meter. Don't have the specs for the coil packs though.

tc uses a screen as the fuel filter, no need to replace

yes, with the fuel shifting back and forth, it's cleaning the screen cover. i tried replacing, and was told no need to.

A screen for a fuel filter sounds ridiculously primitive. I believe most cars got away from the in the '50s...

A filter sock on the pump pickup (no external filter) is very common these days. And unless it is causing problems they a lot of times do not call for a replacement interval, or if so, a very long interval.
