That's 4 tanks of gas around here. Sounds like road trip time.

that is probably it. the summit one is a good buy. Summit cap has brass terminals. You might even be able to get an Accel cap/rotor from autozone. I run accel cap and rotors.

Could just be the fuel pressure regulator or leaky injectors. Is it hard to start always or when hot/cold or after it sits?
