general maintenance

[blue93]

So they say every little bit counts, right? Well I recently learned how to set my timing. When I checked mine, it was at 7-8 degrees advance. My car had been popping and sputtering, so I advanced it to 14 degrees [run premium anyway] Runs 5x better now.

So, after all that, i was inspired to clean the IAC

Man it was dirty... The plunger would almost get stuck...

Well, if that wasn't enough, I did a seafoam clean.

I drove it straight to Autozone and bought a new air filter. Actually ''deepened the cars voice'' wierd.... So! After doing all of the aforementioned maintenance, my car run's like it should. She even puts you back in the seat when you floor it now. Well, around 30 mph [thank you 2.73s] that is. She shifts smoother, idles like a champ and even sounds healthier.

Next step,
plugs, wires, cap, rotor, oil change, o2 sensors, and the electric fan!!!

And I'm actually going to be in Baton Rouge, Louisianna to help him do it for those that dont know. Finally we'll have a little something down South here to show members getting together to do stuff since there's really nobody near me in Florida. Hopefully we can get some good pics up for everyone too !!! :thumbsup1:



Stay tuned !
