I didn't know where to post this stuff so I figured this would be a good place to start.

Well, I was wondering if anyone else has a sticky accelerator pedal? It feels like I have to press a little harder then needed to get any fuel into the engine, and then when it goes it revs a little harder then it should. I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this so that I can smoothly accelerate?

Also, being that my car is 13 years old I was wondering what are some things I can do to increase fuel effeciency, like one thing I'm going to do on my next refill is to buy a fuel injector cleaner, and on my next oil change I'm going to do a tranny and engine flush to clear out whatever gunk is in there, any one have any other idea's?

And finally, how often should I change the oil pan seal, valve cover gasket, spark plug seal and fuel filter? I know it's a lot to ask but any help would be appreciated smile.gif

My pedal sticks some times as well, I haven't really bothered with it but I would htink some lube would help. As far as injector cleaners most don't work so I would do some research before choosing; I've herd good stuff from BG 44k so I would give it a shot. As for better mpg just the normal tune up (plugs, wires, air filter, oil change) if something is going then change it =)
