I highly recommend lucas products as I've used them a lot. Also, did you replace her air filter? It could be clogged.

i totally forgot about lucas... never used personally, but have heard good things.

hell, even a seafoam (if really careful) may help things out a bit

when people run seafoam through an engine it has been known to damage some, no matter how careful the person thinks they are. i know a few people that work at the alexandria pontiac that avoid the stuff like the clap unless its to put in the fuel tank
