Default Just turned over 20,000

Current milage is 20000. Last couple of hundred it seems a little chuggy. By chuggy I mean it doesn't seem to have that punch that it first had. I need a service soon - so maybe that's it...new oil does wonders.

I remember tuning up my old Falcon. New distributor/wires/spark plugs - it sounded mean and strong.

Don't get me wrong...it's still get's up and goes but I can tell the differnce - anyone else?

sad to say but maybe you are just used to the power now


i remember when i first got the car...i could barely control it, unwanted burn outs at stop lights, almost hit stuff in parking lots many times, backing into a pole.... (yes i am a new driver)

I just hit 21K and it seems more punchy than ever!

I found that switching to synthetic does wonders. Also try that trick to get rid of throttle lag

I'm over 20k, it's running as strong as ever. I did the throttle lag fix trick (that Jet22 is talking about) a while back and it's a lot more peppy now

I have like 915 miles, but I'm driving my best friend half way to DC tonight (only 2 hours there & back since it's halfway) so that might get her up to 1k.
