I have a couple of questions.
What can i do to have a more responsive throttle? I have an Accel Ignition but i need new plugs which will be goin gon this weekend.
And your battery gauge? I know mine sits about in the middle, my car does have a short somewhere , since you turn the lights on and sometimes the dash lights go out, or turn the wipers on and the battery gauge drops to rock bottom then back and so on.
I have just been thinking maybe some of this electrical problems are not letting my car reach its potential..
Or maybe i am just guessing..
Thanks

How long has it been since the car has had a good tune-up? If it's been a while, you may want to start with that. A good tune-up would include:

- Oil change
- Oil filter
- Plugs (which you said you were going to do)
- New wires
- Cap & rotor
- Fuel filter
- Air filter (or just clean the K&N)
- Top off all other fluids

As for your electrical gremlins, I'm not really sure. Anyone else?

Well oil needs to be changed in about 500 miles, rotor and cap , ha , your guess is as good as mine..i have a new K&N conical on it, fluids are good.
