plugs, fuel filter, air filter, pcv and ditched the ac comp. Even with only 2 foward gears its still way more alive than it was. Plugs and air filter were factory! Gross!!!

 

how many miles were on it? hard to believe still factory if its older.

There are alot of vehicles out there with still the factory plugs. They make them so darn hard to get to and want to charge a arm and leg to replace them. I had a Ford Ranger with a 4 cylinder in it, had over a 100k and the plugs in it looked like they had never been changed and I know the wires were original because at night you could raise the hood and start it and it looked like a lighting storm under the hood. When I sold that truck, there was one plug that I never changed. I tried every way in the world to get to it without removing the manifold and finally gave up.

you have a auto or standard tranny? Check your local bone yards and you might come up with a decent price on a used on. My brother has a 95 3.4 with auto listed on golsn.com as a parts car. He said they drove the car in and the motor and tranny are good but he is in TN, quite a ways from you. The wiring harness caught on fire and the PO replaced it with a harness from a standard so the tranny will not shift gears. He started parting it out.

 

well i guess its not to uncommon then...ive just always been told to replace them every once in a while. i agree with you, those plugs are a pain!!!!

 

the four cyclinder with the 8 plugs on it??? intake manifold has to come off haha ive done it completely unrelated though lol

 

yeah, they werent the worst ive ever done. My Astro van with a 355 sbc was a true *****
