There's no popping noise when I turn the wheel, I'm gunna change the wires next week cuz they want 55 bucks for wires, and that's re-godamn-diculous, and I was thinking about it being the t/b, don't they sell like a spray or somthing to clean it?

I've never used a timming light before and I really don't know what I would be doing as far as that goes, I just know how to do basic stuff, like replace plugs n wires, change oil, change belts, replace starter and alternator and **** like that, but no clue on how to check timming

Where is the fuel filter on these cars? I'm pretty dumb when it comes to imports, seeing as how nobody in my family nor me has ever owned one, always been chevy trucks since 1989

Well I changed the fuel filter and cleaned the throttle body but its still vibrating at idle, it idles at about 750rpms and it shakes but if I stall it till about 900 or 1000rpms, it stops, what could cause this?
