Hello all - Me Again - I just wanted to report what i did - The problem with the hard starting is because my battery was the original battery and i now have 68K miles - the fluids were low on the first chamber and last chamber. And the electrolytes were low. I went ahead and replaced the Battery. That fixed the problem, it starts fine now - Secondly, I went ahead and replaced the plugs while i was at it - real easy to change and torque down - I regapped the NGKbercs7-11's to .039". Thirdly, I have also noticed recently that when i brake the car shakes violently, I took it to Swedish performance group in Marietta and Jeff said it was because the rotors were warped. Well, i installed new rotors and brake pads (Greenies) about 8 months ago - He said that in other cars there have been problems with greenies. So i got some cross drilled rotors along with some stock brake pads and put them in as well. Well everything looks good now and it just SEEMS to be running better - Maybe i just feel good about doing all this and it came out right. But i wanted to thank everyone here that had to deal with my stupid questions. Of course though, I have one question. Since i dont want to happen what happenned with my rotors and pads 8 months ago - what is the proper procedure to setting the pads? And that they are run in correctly? Just make sure i dont stop suddenly?
