2007, 80K miles, tune up?
Hey guys, just a quick question (I did some searches but got the phone book). We bought our TL new in '07, and it presently has 80K on the clock. It runs well, but the acceleration isn't quite as smooth as it used to be. I cleaned the TB probably 10K miles ago, and it has a new AF, so I'm figuring plugs next. Does this sound about right to you guys, or is there something else that can cause the acceleration to be not quite as buttery smooth as it was when the car was bought?
P.S. 93 octane only, and always at the same station.

A very common issue on our cars is the APP sensor. Not that you should go throw 100 dollars at the issue right now because it might not be your problem, but keep that in your mind as a possible cause. Mine started out as little less power feeling, then started to be jerky acceleration. Changed the APP and it was like new.
If changing the plugs doesn't help... I would look here.

Gap is 1.0-1.1mm when new for the spark plugs.

^ I think EGR would throw a code before he could feel it.
