    Well, thats not a lot to go on. There could be a number of things. Could need a tune up, maybe a new fuel filter, etc. If you have any more details you can share it might help out.

    It really depends on where you get the parts and what parts you use. But, you can get Autolite copper core plugs, about $1.50 each. New OEM wires will run you about $30 - 40. Might as well change the air filter and fuel filter which may run you about $10 each or there abouts.

    I guess if you wanted to go the extra mile and dont know what the maintenance history on it is, probably wouldnt hurt to change out the O2 sensor.

    Full tune up should consist of the at least following:

    1. Spark plug change (it looks like you are still stock so stock plugs are what I recommend)

    2. Spark plug wires

    3. Air filter

    4. Fuel filter

    5. Fuel system cleaner (in tank)

    6. Throttle body cleaner (clean inside of TB)

    7. PCV valve (inspect)

    8. Oil Change

    It's not a bad idea to change the O2 sensors. Especially if they haven't been changed before or if you don't know when they have been changed last.

    Ive restored several sets of headlights using the wet sanding method and never had an issue. Did you use a kit? Or how did you go about doing it?

    Some MAF cleaner wouldn't hurt either.
