brake fluid change
check plugs & coils
zoom power engine cleaner

It does not matter waht order you do this in. I would buy new coils and spark plugs. You can get the coils pretty cheap from www.waynemazdafactoryparts.com. And for the spark plugs go to www.autopartswarehouse.com.

Also you should change your anti freeze coolant since it should be cahnged every 2 yrs

When you change the spark plugs make sure you put alittle anit-seize on the threads

I would do the cleaning then do the plugs a couple days later.
