Please Help Me Out If You Can

well my car is fine but there is a few things that i want to check to be safe.

1.according to my gas gauge im getting 140 a tank :-? (i drive slow most of the time)

2.my car pulls diffrent alot( i know wheather makes a big dif) sometimes it pulls mean as hell as sometimes it feels like it doesnt want to go anywhere......thinking fuel filter (maybe)..............that bugs the hell out of me, and rarely it feel like the car stutters a little when i give it gas then it goes.

also i want the car tuned and scanned (also thinking ignition is kinda bad) cuz i smell gas when i turn the car off after getting up on it(porb. just running rich)

ANYWAYS WHATS A GOOD HONEST PLACE TO GO TO....I LIVE IN CLEAR LAKE (houston)

Of course it has plugs. It needs plugs to run. I'm telling you to CHANGE them.

No kidding, huh? Must have got the option package!

All joking aside, Spinner's post pretty much hit the nail on the head. Sounds like your car needs a little routine maintenance.

I think general consensus is it's the plugs..
change your plugs, again.

as cheap as plugs are it wouldn't hurt to change them. wires too while you're at it.

What the guys are telling you, is that unless you pull them and see what condition they are in for yourself, being "told" they're new doesn't mean too much.

Exactly. Don't take people's word for stuff like that...
What kind of world is this that you can't trust a used car salesman!
