It didn't need a tuneup Mr. ChastisePixiefornevertuninguphercar. 
The plugs and wires were still in perfect shape. 
There is no such thing as a "minor" electrical problem.pixiegirl said:
Reason 498756 why I'll likely never own anything but a Toyota product ever again. Aside from some pretty minor electrical problems then only issue I've ever had with my car was a dirty O2 sensor and dirty throtle body??? Whatever they are??? They're clean and she's running like a champ again with 120k miles.

LoL! Silly girl.
I don't have a penis; cut me some slack here. He yelled at me. 
You're supposed to take my side here. PT is cute and does have nice hair and all but I have a nicer rack!
pixiegirl said:Well the plugs and wires were fine and didn't need to be replaced.
Ponytail said:Pix, I don't care what kind of car you drive. If it has plugs and wires, no way in HE!! that they are going to go 120,000 miles without being replaced. Your car HAD to have had a tune-up at some point, whether you knew or remember it or not.
And if there is a mechanic out there, that would not recommend changing them after 120,000 miles regardless of what they look like, knowing, or at least being told, that they had never been done before, I wanna know who he is so that I can avoid going to him and also get the word out to my friends that he is an idiot.
Read your owners manual and tell me what the recommended interval for plugs and wires is for your car.
I put it in and TOLD them to replaced the plugs. Told then it was hesitating. They called me back told me she was running lean and that the plugs were fine. Trouble shot for a while then came back with the dirty throttle body and sensor. Got her back clean and she's running fine.

I took it to Cheseldine which is very highly spoken of on here for their work and reliability.
