    so planning to kinda do a all out tune up on a budget.
    - oil change ( considering 5w30 instead of 10w30 )
    - Mobil 1 5w30 3 quarts and Lucas Oil something...... with a mobil 1 or K&N filter possibly.
    - motor mount inserts
    - serpentine belt
    - maybe the timing change
    - maybe port the headers also.
    - also planning to take off my k-sports.

    i've already changed my spark plugs to iridium something. the GOOD ones. a while back. but yeah. just tryna keep the MPG up. and run it smooth til i get my next car. ive also swapped out my coil packs for the time being. seeing as i had a issue before with them.

    any suggestions? what do you guys do? or have done? right now my car sometimes sputters from 1800 rpm to 2500 rpm. but if i smash on the gas hard and get past it im fine. but yeah. its annoying and i can tell im burning more gas.
