sounds like a plan. so far the only 3 things that my friends say that might be wrong are 1. fuel injection is clogged 2. i need a tune up (mystery as to when my last tune up was bought the car at 93k now 106k) and 3. the one i dread is a valve problem. that injector cleaner u can get at local car shop? and why only half a tank of gas? thx for the info man
