So what tune up work has been done on it lately?
What octane gas are you using, have the 02 sensors been changed out?

it was tuned up about 20,000 miles ago with all high end stuff. the o2 sensors were changed about 25,000 miles ago apone failer of 1 of them. I have always run regular in her I know its not recomended but at 3 dollors a gal X 10 miles to a galon = my life savings lol but ya it only has happend over the past few mounths and i am about to put a 5.7L chevy motor in her if i cant get it resolved.
