    . Replace spark plugs (NGK only), with the exact ones that came in the car.

    . Replace the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor, which affects fuel injector pulse width. The ECT Sensor is a temperature dependent resistor (thermistor), whose resistance decreases as the engine coolant temperature increases. It provides a richer mixture when cold, leaner mixture when hot. They become corroded, due to not changing the coolant frequently enough, flood the engine, and waste a tremendous amount of fuel. It should be located under the distributor--it's the sensor with two wires going to it.

    If the problem persists, replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil:
