Maintenance Tune-Ups
I don't see it from the manual, but
any one have an idea when the maintenance tune is recommended?
I moved to Houston from New York this summer, and it's definitely not as cold,
but my car is noisier, and seems less power than the last winter.
I warm the engine up all the times, when I start in the morning.
It is the 04 with 70K miles.
Any Suggestions?

You can do it yourself.
Replace plugs at 60,000miles, throttle body cleaner on a rag, replace fuel filter under the rear seats and all the usual checkes, engine oil, MTF/ATF, clutch/brake fluid and coolant.
