Any with poor milage or inferior performance
I was suffering from both. I was getting around 12 mpg and at high revs (6000) from flooring it the engine shuddered and held out for a looong time, shuddering in what sounded like the red zone the entire time, before it would shift (perhaps some pluggs were not sparking properly??). I was afraid it was the tranny.
After an oil change, an air filter change, and a sparkplug change, all seems to be well! This car, wow....is all I can say. It never drove this well. I hydroplaned (mildly) several times tonight due to my lead foot. I just couln't help myself. Anyone with similiar problems, I advise a sparkplug change. Not sure if mine had ever been changed, so at 98k it was time. What a difference... I can only assume the gas milage will increase as well, I'll keep ya'all posted once I figure it out later this week. Anyone else have similar experiences with their sparkpluggs? |

Wow that is great Most everyone else has never had that much of change due to plugs and filters. I think your filters may have been really dirty. Change the PCV too? Did ya do the work or have it done?
