Mom's '93 GP 3.1L has about 125,000 miles and I've concluded it still has the original plugs, wires, etc. Took her on a long trip yesterday and in overdrive going up a viable hill it would begin to 'cut out' here & there. Thought it was the tranny slippping at first, but figured that since the car just putts around a very small town, it's unlikely that OD is going out (right?) Anyway, I'm considering replacing the plugs & wires myself, thus saving her probably $100+ compared to having the dealership do it, but I'm TERRIFIED of something going wrong "on Mom's car" and having it turn into a big fiasco; namely 13 year old plugs breaking/siezing in the heads. Is there a high likelihood of that happening, or would it be a pretty routine deal and I'm just being paranoid?
