Just recently (with the help of the good people here) diagnosed and cured my bucking issue which turned out to be a bad MAF. Last week, my car started not wanting to idle when warm. Figured it could be a few things, possibly O2 Sensor, possibly Spark Plugs, Coil Packs, etc.
Went through the fun of changing the plugs yesterday before the fireworks. Car fired up and wasn't trying to die on me but it seemed a bit sluggish on the 35 mile drive I had to work today, eventually threw a code.
Just pulled the code and it threw a 45, from searching on here I found out that's an injector leak. Car just turned 137,000 yesterday as well and in my 2.5 years of ownership, I've changed the alternator, fuel filter, plugs, MAF, fuel pump, etc...
Just looking for input as to what other people with similar or greater mileage have found themselves replacing. I think I've got to do the valve cover gaskets as I think they are leaking, may need new injectors, or at least a cleaning from RC Engineering or something. I'm worried I'm going to need a new transmission at some point as it's got a sloppy 2-3 shift and I have no idea how much those cost.
What should I be looking for as the car continues to rack up the miles as a daily driver? Anything I should try to get to or that I might already be on borrowed time with?
Thanks as always for any help.
