First, get rid of the Bosch plugs before they fry your ignition coil, then post compression test numbers for us to evaluate.

get under ur car and take out the oil pan, check the inside of the engine, if it looks clean... then that's good (this is just one of the things to do, not the only one)... also follow falkore's advise... get NGK. make sure the timing belt is in good condition, and check the the pulleys, also make sure u have a good tranny. at least in good condition. uuuhhhhmmmm.... i think that's it...

A transmission cooler is a must for a automatic transmission. Failure to get one, if you do turbo your car will make your tranny wear out prematurely.

and use of the search function on the site..... cause failure to use it adds needless repeat questions and needless repeat answers and constant showing that you dont read forum provided information ^_^
