not makin power
my I6 has 136,000 miles on it, and its just not making good power anymore. I mean its not bad, but its not the same. Like when i'm half on the gas pedal in first and 2nd gear it almost feels like it hesitates. Maybe it just needs a tuneup? help

you could be suprised at how much a tuneup will bring up your engine... that is if it needs it.
