Like the title said Some times it runs like a bat outofhell for being pretty much stock (catback and timing) and others it seems a little sluggish....not bad but you can tell a difference....I know it has all the orginal equipment on it but I did a tune up when I first got it about a month ago (plugs wires rotor cap and button) and I it helped a little with idle and gas mileage 22mpg. I know it has the stock O2 sensors in it could it be those? any suggestions
Thanks
Jason
