I have a '99 w/ the 4.0 SOHC w/ 173K. Good engine, but it needs a tune up. She's pulling some low MPG's, around 15 combined.
I have cleaned the throttle body mulitiple times, and cleaned the MAF as well. Near as I can tell, the plugs are original (I got her when she 9,000 miles) as well as the wires and coil pack.
Other than changing out the plugs (and possibly wires and coil pack), are there any other ideas I need to look into to get the MPG's up? I appreciate the lowering gas prices and all, but I also want her to run to capacity.
Thanks in advance,
Portland John
