      I think it's a 99, and it had 107500 miles on it when he bought it this
Summer. I'm pretty sure he's running synoil -- no smoke, no mods, and said he
was getting good milage (like 48-50 IIRC ) but lousy power. Of course, since he
didn't buy it new, he has no real comparison, and was just assuming that was all
the power the car was supposed to have.
    I would think with that many miles, a new set of injectors would be a good
idea, also check for the clogged intake manifold people have talked about
here. The MAF maybe as well.
