I need them. The dealers are all about 30+ miles away and I am too lazy to go get them. Online source or Napa carry them?

BTW, my plugs have 21k on them and on the ride Sunday the guy following me said he was getting carbon monoxide poisoning every time we accelerated from a corner. My last two tanks I have gone from 38-40mpg to 32mpg.

Do you ever replace the plug wires?

Should I just take it in to the shop to have the valves checked?

Are they iridium? Even if they are, you definitely got your mileage out of them

Should never have to unless there's a problem with them. Good for 100K+, IMO.

Up to you, but they are probably fine. Why not just check them, yourself?

Josh,

If you want your valves checked, you can come up some weekend you're off and we can do it... I'd hate to see you waste you money at the dealer... I've got a manual and am relitively mechanically inclined...

BTW, I was getting sick behind you on the way to NeXXt too! That's why I got up there by Fuzz about halfway there... I was getting sick to my stomach being behind you...

That's 'cause the bean burritos were subsidizing your mileage so you didn't notice the dropoff!!! :twisted:

Ran some Seafoam through it and went right back up to 40mpg :?

Still plan on doing plugs this weekend. Got to love Seafoam!
