all good. Dont get to mad when fixing it Can be a pain at times but its all worth it in the end. Also, if your replacing a stock part, check the venders section. Lots of good and usually great priced deals along with people selling new replacement components.

I cleaned my tb and iac ,tps ,map .Put in a new fpr and ford windstar injectors , new plugs ,and boots ,specter air filter (cheap k@n knockoff) but it works the same. Aired my tires up clean off any extra dirt. Removed all extra crap about 300# worth. Castrol 10w30 synt oil ,mopar filter.Filled up at shell added a red can of heet. We went on a 230 mile round trip and got home with 5/8 of a tank, All types of driving str hilly city windyetc etc, thats how we save gas.

Yes Shell and Sunocoare great up here. The Sunoco has this thing with Pricechopper this is a grocery store every 50.00 bucks spent there they give you 10 cents off per gallon so the wife gets her gas for around 75 cents to a 1.25 a gallon most times like one time for cheap then next one real price then next at the reduced price so that helps to.

haha, Kroger just opened a gas station down the road and when you use the members card you get a decent chunk of change off per gallon (depending how much you spent with the card). Been meaning to stop there and see if its any good.
