My car seems to be running like butt right now. I did my cap and rotor and it seemed a little more peppy for a while but now it is really "jumpy" hesitant when I shift or let off the gas and unless I reset it without paying attention my MPG has fallen ton, 200 miles on 3/4 of a tank. Any help would be dreamy.
On a better note I got my lugnuts and put on my 17's tonight. I was afraid they would not fit (Only a inch at most between the fender and tire) but they seemed to do OK. I will get some pics up tommorow.

you can start by checking your wires, plugs and timing,.... also when you get your 17's on watch you gas mileage and acceration drop.. i had to get rid of my 16"s because of the gas and accel dropping so much.. my 16's were 12lbs per wheel (including tires)heavier than stockies.. 16 with tire= 45lbs per wheel
15 with tire= 33lbs per wheel

I replaced my wires and plugs not too long ago. I am going to look at my timing again and check the TB and MAF ground.

That can't be right. Your 16" wheels could not have been 12lbs and with tires equal 45lbs. I have 16's that are 20+lbs and with tires are 44lbs. Luckily I don't use these for racing :)
