Fuel and Air Filters are new. Tranny and Diff fluid were changed at 260K, brakes are not dragging, right rear tire pressure was very low (found a nail), no fuel leaks, all new lines, checked again, thermostat is new, temp gauge sits right above the 80 line. Alignment is dead nuts on......
On a higher note, the car got 23.94 mpg this tank, driving like a human being this time, not WOT and making it smoke with no ALDA there. So I'm pretty happy with it. We'll see what happens with the tires at the correct pressure.
