Ok here's the deal: I have a 92SE V6 Twin Cam non ABS. The car has 157K and runs fine but not great. It has a slight miss at idle but seems OK when you really get on it. It has also the lost power needed to climb hills while in OD. You have to downshift to 3rd to get any real throttle response on the highway even if just going up a slight grade.It also has an acceleration lag at times. I have had a bad injector O-ring on the back side (this is why I didn't fix it)for a while.This is only noticable in the cold. When warm there is no oder of gas. When cold there is an oder of gas until the block heats up then it is gone. So anyway besides that I need shocks and struts,my muffler will rust through soon the CAT's got to be at least partially clogged and I need a LF CV joint. My buddies shop will do all the work for 1100.00 bucks. This includes replacing all the parts mentioned above and removing the Injectors and cleaning them and putting in a new O-ring for each injector.My questions are what kind of exhaust and shocks and struts should I use bearing in mind my goal is to keep the car usable as long as possible not a performance upgrade.Also I have the distributor-less ignition: how do you test the plug wire/coil deal that goes down to the spark plug? I imagine it can be tested with a VOM. Should I just buy 6 new ones? I'm thinking the miss comes from these or the injectors/O-rings. The car does not smoke and starts up everytime no problem. Love to hear anyones feedback with experience in any of theses areas! Thanks Earl T
