Not a whole lot to check. Over 60K miles = replace.

96'? Sorry, they say the eyes are the first to go. Maybe I should pick out a woman to marry before they get any worse!

Also pick up one of these & use it!

Working or not, replace o2 every 60K miles.

Although not accurate, every time I hear "ethanol" I picture trying to run corn syrup though injectors. It actually has more to do w/ combustion properties...or the lack thereof.
Do u have to get it from that website or do they sell them at my local auto parts napa and such
