Maint. on Car I just bought?
Ok, I just bought a 1994 Firebird V6 (my first :D ) with 105,000 miles. Besides my hard starting issue which I hope will be corrected with a new fuel pressure regulator, what should I do to ensure the longevity of this car? I know that the person who had it before me didn't take that great care of it - at least not the body seeing all the nicks and scratches and couple dings...What can I do now to try and "make up" for any maintenance that should have been done that wasnt.
So far:
Oil Change
New Spark Plugs
New Fuel Filter
There appears to be a slight oil leak bcz when I was changing out the fuel filter I could see wet areas under the enigine area - not soaking but...It is hard to tell how much of a leak there is cuz when the guy sold it to me he decided to top off the fluids and overfilled the oil - hence the quick oil change!! So I don't know how much of the oil underneath is from it being overfilled? I was getting a couple of wet spots (two small ones) on the driveway when it was overfilled - before I realized that it was - but they have gotten smaller and may even have stopped.
I appreciate any and all suggestions :bowdown: . I want to keep this car for the long haul - get a new paint job, new performance exhaust, t-top conversion, etc.
