*Moving to 2nd Gen Tech* This section is more for motor hard part problems.

What have you tried? Tune up (plugs, wires, cap & rotor)? Any check engine light? Have you tried fuel from different stations? Have you used any fuel injector cleaner (I use Chevron Techron Plus Concentrate fuel system cleaner)?
