I will clean out the tb but will hold off on the sparkplugs. they are not fouling out right now. What I did get from the car was a rattling sound when I punch the trottle. This was before I changed the plugs and now. It could be the tb. I will clean the tb and see what happens. I am over due my emmissions since 12/17/03. I want to get this licked without having to spend a "g". thanks for all your suggestions. I will also be replacing the water pump belt and changing the oil at the same time.
