I bought a 99 Nissan Frontier in Oct 2004.
It had 62300 miles on. Now it has 65400 on.
I won't assume the last dealer/owner did a tuneup.

So I'll replace the fuel filter and plugs.

Q: Should I replace the rotors, cap and wires.
Q2: How long do rotors, cap and wire last (months/years)

If it is a 99 it should not have a rotor or cap to replace. The wires,
maybe.

Maybe on some other planet Nissan Frontiers didn't have a cap and rotor,
but here on earth the '99 has both.

not yet nessesasy.

I have a 99 Front too and love cars. My opinion is that it NEVER hurts
when in doubt to spend the extra, on cap button plugs wires and PCV al
at once That way you have the best idea of how much wear you have on i
all together. I used to replace wires and plugs at the same time an
the cap and button after 2nd or 3rd set of plugs and wires. It might b
a waste but 20 bucks a year you'll save that in gas mileage
