drove the car round trip for 40mi this morning, no problem

Got in this afternoon, and had a slight sputtering? problem that has gotten worse and worse.

ON throttle, i have really no power, the car sounds like its really straining, and the smell out the exhaust is very high in gasoline. Once i get it up to higher speeds (65+mph) it kinda goes away but its still there.

I checked the plugs and wires, all is good.

just bad gas?

No, it looks like a hooker put her acid vag on your hood. Acid vag = bigger problem than a few dings.

I dunno, There is no real way to tell if it is clean or dirty, the only thing that makes me change it is when the car is running crappy... I just make it part of my normal tune up. "Preventative maintenance" anyway, if it wasn't the culprit this round, it won't be the cause of a future problem.

I've only been through 2 in the 5 years I've had the car, about 100,000mi in those years. ~50k a good interval imo.

And at $35 for an oem toyota one, it doesn't hurt.

i know its probably stupid, but i think if i take care of the car, it'll take care of me. wink.gif
