I'm going to shoot my car with my .45

[ryanruggles@uniserve.com (Ryan Ruggles)]

I think my car is just CIS not CIS-E.  If my plugs were carboned up then
wouldn't it run like shit when it's cold too?  THat's the weird
thing....itruns great when it's ice cold but like shit when it's warmer.

dunno........
