+1 clean your MAF. I just cleaned it on my girlfriends 70,000 mile '04 impala after an oil change and a few other maintanence things and the car is a lot stronger going through the gears and she gained a few MPG. The car didn't even run like crap before this, I just got a wild hair to clean it because I know what it does for my car.

Mass Air Flow sensor, it's originally equipped on 89 and up mustangs, unless someone has done a MAF conversion. It's between the filter housing and the throttle body.
