Get yourself a Haynes or a Chilton manual. That should keep you informed well for maintanence jobs.

Get a FSM if you really want to get yourself in some trouble. I don't know what it is with those books. Makes me feel like I can just start taking stuff apart.

Well i think i need one 2. my car is idling rough and it might need some new plugs.

hope i get a chance to change it before it gets cold or it'll stay like that. Wish i could also stop the oil blowby, would be great.

Do a full tune up. It'll make a difference. Change the plugs, plug wires, distributor, rotor, and pcv valve.
