What's the gap for an SOHC ZC and how many quarts of oil does it hold? Also, any recommendations on spark plugs? Autolites?

 

all same as A6.

i perfer NGK.

 

.045

 

Cool. Thanks. I'm doing a big tune up trying to fix my gas mileage because my last time around was 27.7mpg with air on 4 but no pedal to the metal action. I just looked at my muffler and it's bad because it sounds like something fell inside of it and is just rattling around in there. I thought it was an exhaust hanger until I looked twice. Could that be causing the bad mpg? The fact that there could be even more restriction there?

Also, I'm doing this tune-up. Ya know, oil, spark plugs, fuel filter, flush the radiator, and that magical stuff called seafoam that cleans out the entire engine and all. Anything else I'm missing that I should be doing besides figuring out how to convert to MPFI for more power and hopefully better fuel economy?

Oh, one last thing. How much for a muffler replacement?

 

Just go to a muffler shop and have them put in a generic muffler. Not expesive at all.

Or order an OEM looking one on line and do it urself. That's what i'd do.

 

Don't use Autolites. Get NGK (low end, not uridium) or factory Denso.

 

Ok, well I'm taking my car to a muffler shop today. It's rather cheap like you all said. Where can I find NGK spark plugs? I don't think Autozone carries those. Also, is there anything I left out for a major tune-up? The air filter and spark plug wires are all relatively new. I am doing seafoam in the fuel tank, oil, and motor. I am also changing the fuel filter, spark plugs, oil, and flushing the radiator. Is there any other part of a tune-up I am forgetting that could also boost my gas mileage?

 

Cap and rotor.

Where's the PCV Valve located on a D15B2 layout? I bought a PCV and I can't find anything that looks remotely close to what the PCV I bought looks like.
