Hello, I was wondering if there were any other ways to get your car to run smoother, more powerfully, and more efficiently. Aside from cleaning the MAF, IAC, and Throttle body.

@saturntech9 No, My car runs just fine. It was passed down to me after going through my 3 older brothers when they were teenagers who severely neglected it. It was running horrible when I got it, but after replacing the spark plugs, fuel filter, oil/filter change, cylinder coils, and plug wires it actually runs pretty good. I just wanted to know if there was anything else I could do to make it run even better. Thanks
