Don't do 88 in second . Could be a number of things: are you still running the DPFI ECU? Bad O2 sensor, fuel injectors, filter, pump, spark plugs, air filter. You should be getting at least 30mpg if you don't drive like an idiot.

88 in secnd isnt even in the redline but thats very rarely..... but anyways... plugs are good but a while back i ahd a bad vacuum leak to the map sensor but thats fixed now.... salted the motor... new plugs runs great but real sluggish on hot days to about 3500 rpm... who ever owned it before me had an safc on it. and yes it is running a pm5 ecu...
