Any previous history on the car? Was it bought from a dealer or private sale?
I guess an important question would be if the Injectors were changed....

If they go bad the plenum has to come off..That you can do yourself, just take your time ...I knew nothing about working on this engine when I got it but since have taken the plenum off twice and removed injector housings when I had them ported....Everything you see under the plenumis bolted on and the vacuum hoses are easy to follow...Changed out bad starter and changed out coils and plug wires when I had enough off.....Its not difficult and I'm just a backyard mechanic...

Plugs are easy, except maybe for the # 8 plug..Have to do mine soon..

Oil changes are easy.....Just let oil drain at least for a few hours....That's what I was told....
Lots of knowledgeable members on this forum...
