I have had the above car for about a year. It runs pretty good. The wireing harness is really not the best in it. It's not that bad yet, but it is getting there. The car still has a little bit of a cold start issue. Start in the moring then die. Then start again a little rough until I get it going and then it is fine. I can park it for 45 minutes come out and start it right off and drive away. If I park it for two hours and come back I have a real hard time starting it. I have noticed this getting better lately though.

So, I won't have a whole lot of time to work on it untill winter break. I will do a full tune up with out saying, but should I attack the wireing harness, now to eliminate problems or is there other things like sensors that I should look at. I think that I'm getting 20 MPG in on the freeway, and less in town.

I don't know where to start, but I have decided that I want to keep the car, and bring it to a more pristine level.

I would also like to have some more information about sea foam and mega squirting.

Also, I have been running AMS oil and premeium fuel in the car.

Thanks and happy bricking.
