well im gonna pop the TB off and have a look. It seems to run perfectly though and it passed emmisions with flying colours so I doubt it needs a tune up but 16 new plugs couldnt hurt :P What plugs do these motors use? I'll go buy a whole wack of them tonight and throw them in
I got 17.3mpg at 115-120km/h
Have fun doing the plugs just did mine last week

and it looks like the driver side rear plugs are pretty tight with the brake thingy, ill need a ladder or something haha... Another problem i'm having is getting 16 plugs most places only have 8 and when I tell them I need 16 there like no you don't its a V8 you only need 8.... I try to tell them it has 2 per cylinder but they don't seem to comprehend. HAHA Did you notice an increase in MPG when you did the plugs? My last cottage run cost me i'd say about $130 as its 250km each way and I wasnt gonna push it that last 30 odd KM on the line. Luckily I didnt because i put in 97 liters to fill it back up and the tank is a 98 liters so it was pretty much bone dry
