I replaced Fuel filter, fuel pump, fuel pump relay, crank positionning sensor, MAF sensor and 18 spark plugs. The car runs strong now! I can feel it pull harder than before. i'm stoked. Just thought I'd share!

oops 16 lol. Thought it was 18. Wait, it's not a V9? lol. I now have 113k miles. I have done the tranny flush at 90k miles or so. Probably will do another flush at 120k, sounds reasonable?
