It would be a good idea to replace the old plug wires with OEM wires. If the distributor cap and rotor show wear or corrosion, they should be replaced as well. For the Seafoam treatment, see the DIY section.

I went from a Mercury Grand Marquis to my EX........
It takes some getting used to being eveybody elses "bitch" on the road, but the CASH Im saving at the pump makes it well worth it IMO!
I think these cars shine on the highway though, being small and easy to manuever around.

Alright Guys.. I Did A Seafoam.. And I Have To Say The Pick-Up Response Is Much Better Than It Was Before,Also Does Anyone Know How Often A Seafoam Should Be Done? I Read The Diy On It But I Did Not See How Often It Should Be Done, thanks.
