DIY tune up questions

My '97 900s, 2.3 NA, 68K is likely in need of a tuneup. She runs slightly rough when first started up in the morning, and there's some slight hesitation when I punch it.
1. What's in a "tune up". Wires and Plugs, air filter, clean throttle body? (will use NGK plugs as specified in manual).
2. What else? I know plugs are a no brainer for a novice like me, but what about wires? What else should be done for a basic tune up? Does it need to be hooked up to a computer to check timing and all that?
3. What's the estimated cost to DIY vs. a garage (I know that can vary widely! I have a local saab guy that's very good...)
I want to DIY, but it has to be a total no brainer with no special tools required. I have basic hand tools only.
Thanks Y'all
Brian
