73,000 miles, had the fuel pump replaced about 25,000 miles ago, fuel filter changed about the same time . I replaced the fuel filter today but it didn't help, replaced the air filter as well. driving home it became very sluggish and began pinging a great deal . Had to slow from 60 down to about 35 just to make it home. Seems like I'm loosing compression. No black smoke out the exhaust. Anybody with any suggestions??

I had the same problem, no change with fuel additives and the rest...I checked the spark plugs and found them to be clean but worn out...I intalled new Platnium plugs along with new plug wires. Wow what a difference it made....runs up hill like a dog chassing a cat...

Hope this gives you some help...JC
