+2 on the NGK plugs. If you are going to use synthetic oil, I have heard good things about Pennzoil Platinum. Castrol is good stuff too.

Seafoam is decent stuff for using in fuel and/or in oil for cleaning things.
I've heard of sucking it in through vac lines. I've never used it like that tho. Some people think its really good and other don't like it.

^^ some do some don't. I was actually just reading over a thread the other day on it. Most people do the brake vacuum method. they just REALLY stress sipping a little bit a time as if it we're wine  and not drowning your motor |

+1 ^ Always do it through a. the gas tank b. Brake booster vacuum line. c. (never done myself) crank case, although i wouldn't recommend it. I use seafoam on a regular basis and i think it works great. Now, i dont have an proof saying its working but ive used it for a few years now that i can tell the difference when its added to my alty. As for oil, ive been going with Valvoline NextGen Maxlife 5W-30. Done some reasearch on the stuff and it seems to be better than your standard dino oil. (detergents ect, plus its 50% recycled so a little less impact on enviornment  ) |

So does anyone know much about fuel leaks? When I fill my car up it leaks to a certain point then stopes. I'm still driving 320 miles on a full tank of gas. I'll post a pic up soon

I'll post a pic up soon Where does it leak? The lines? Around the tank? My best guess is a hole high on the tank or it leaking on lines after building up pressure |

So to make this easier. Looked at it last night. Leak is up high. And appears to be a hose. When I put gas in, no leak. When I turn the car on. Leaks until a certain point. Like I said not to much but a bit. Then stops. Constantly smells of fuel in my car. Any advice is helpful. Thanks in advance.

Best option is to replace it. If you have to drop the tank do so but make sure it is almost empty first! Otherwise it will be really heavy and you will probably spill a bunch of gas. You can also take it to a shop. They should have a tester that pressurizes the sytem and has a colored gases to show leaks. Make sure you get any other possible leaks.

Alright so recently i have experienced a clutch issue. When car is still cold, or at first start, and go to leave and get a spueeling when letting out of the clutch. Sometimes it also sputtets, and i have to put the clutch in a little more and give it gas. (I know your thinking, "does this guy know how to drive a stick?") Yes i reave to about 1500, sometimes a little lower. Any ideasplease. Also keep the repair as cheap as possible.  Thanks. |

Check your clutch mastercylinder/slavecylinder? My clutch has started to squeak as well.
