At about 4500 to 5000 changed fuel filter about 8 months ago. Wires and spark plugs about 4 months old, maf seems to be clean, i have a k&n filter clean and refilled it about 5 months ago. I dont know im guessing maybe my fuel pump, i need to buy a press. gauge to keep a eye on it to see if it fluctuates
