two new O2 senor, fuel filter, air filter, lower intake manifold, plugs+wires


but i just notice that the emisson problem went away cause i check my codes like once a week and it didnt come up this time

the codes might pop back on in a week or so, they vary on comming up. your mileage is up there, but what weight oil do you use?
