Dude 10w-30 is pretty thick for IL weather? I dont think thats the prob tho, It probably needs a tune, fuel filter, new plugs, air filter, or something along those lines

naw... tune up consist of say.. fuel filter, air filter, plugs, wires, cap and rotor.... could even go as far as bleeding brakes, coolant and trans flushes... (a trans flush is what this car REALLY NEEDS)

check the starter to see if any of the wires are loose, and the starter ground wire.

also check the battery, and the connections to see if theyre good
