I am in college and I drive my car maybe 3 times a week, for a total of maybe 5 miles. When I was in high school, I drove it like 6 times a day, for over 60 miles.
It used to fire right up, no problem. It still starts, but not as fast. Always on the first try though. It normally "chugs" for about a second, then fires right up.
I just can't help but think it doesn't run as good as it used to.
Could the fact that it just sits be part of it? I can see it out my window now (well, it is sort of dark). It looks so sad, never being driven, sunshades over the windows, all dirty (no garage anymore), and sitting next to a riced Saturn and a Camaro <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>

i'd say new plugs/wires, clean throttle body/intake mani., 300zx fuel filter, and you're gonna run fine. &nbsp;but if you live in cold area, it's just gonna act like that if you don't drive it enough.
