Question

My gas milage has been **** lately, I don't know if it's because of me running the A/C or if I'm just paranoid. I don't smell any gas so I assume it's not leaking any. My car has had a very lopey idle while stopped in drive as of lately also. Any suggestions on what to do or check? Would there be a check engine light on if I wasn't hitting on all 8?

Try a tune up? is it lacking any power or anything? Hows the o2 sensor?

How bad is your mileage? Might be time to replace your spark plugs, maybe the O2 sensor, maybe the air filter...

Spark plugs are brand new, and so is the air filter. I'll double check to make sure all the boots are on good. Maybe I'll order a new cap and rotor today at work.
