Nope, no CEL ever comes on... I've bought some fuel system cleaner
stuff to add to the gastank next time I fill up (not sure if it'll
actually make a difference though)... if I can find the spark plugs
I'll check those as well. They have never been replaced since I've
owned the car - How can I tell if they need to be replaced? Or at
100K miles, should they be replaced just for good measure??

thanks,
