If you have high milage on the car, possibles are spark plug wire break down, spark plug weak, fuel injector clogging, valve clearence not correct.

If you go to autozone.com, register for free, you can get a better cost of the spark plugs, spark plugs wires, the fuel injectors can be cleaned by using a bottle or 2 of injector cleaner. Adjust valve clearence (if there are adjustments) need to call the repair shop to give est. valve cover gasket will be needed also.Go from the least cost to the most expensive, one step at a time.any questions, email me acmech52@yahoo.com
