I'VE NOTICED I DONT HAVE AS MUCH POWER AS I USED TO. I AM GOING TO REPLACE MY SPARKPLUGS, I ALREADY DID WIRES. I AM ALSO GONNA DO HEADERS CAUSE I GOT AN EXHAUST LEAK AT THE EXH MANIFOLD. WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE? WHAT ELSE DOES A TUNE UP CONSIST OF? COULD A LEAK AT THE EX MANIFOLD ROB ME OF POWER AND THROTTLE RESPONSE? I DONT SEEM TO HAVE THE GET UP AND GO THAT I USED TO.

ANY RECOS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I AM ALSO POSTING IN PERFORMANCE BUT PLEASE REPLY IN THIS ONE.

THANX

Degraded O2 sensors that are getting lazy (slow) can also cause driveability problems.

You may also want to check the fuel and air filters and the engine compression if you have the tester, especially if the engine is down on power.

i just did my o2 sensors. i'm gonna check my filter tomorrow. i think i'm gonna change it anyway. whats the best filter out right now?

 

[BLUMX6]

oh yeah, and where is the fuel filter and how do i check it or change it?

What will a new 02 sensor do for me. Ive heard that it helps gas mileage. Is it worth purchasing a new one? My car only has 46,000mi on it.

THATS ABOUT IT, ADAM, JUST MILAGE AND IT'LL GET RID OF THAT ANNOYING CEL. IT RUNS RICHER WITH BAD O2'S, SO YOU MAY BE A LITTLE SLUGGISH, BUT THAT'LL GO AWAY WHEN U CHANGE EM. IF YOU DO, AUTOZONE HAS EM FOR LIKE $63 BUCKS. THEY'RE BOSCH TOO. THOSE ARE THE ONES I USED AND I'M FINE NOW. NO MORE CEL OR CRAPPY MILAGE. ABOUT 3MPG DIFF.
