The AC is the mileage killer. I live in cali and its about 90+ these past weeks and I would rather have 4 windows down than the AC on haha.
As mentioned above watch out for the Mod Bug! |

Your engine should NOT labor or vibrate when you have the AC on. At 44K I bet the plugs, plug wires have not been done, nor the tranny flushed, not just drained, but Flushed. The plug & wires can be done by your self,(see the sticky above the Performance.Section) but the tranny will have to be done by tranny specialists or dealer or someone with a flush system. A new radio can be picked up usually on e bay.

Thanks for the input guys.Are the plugs and wires easy to change on these? Spark plugs to be gapped at .0040? Thanks

One pleasant surprise that you discover that I found is that the PT makes a nice breeze inside while driving so I almost never use AC. Unless I'm going 70 MPH and don't want the wind noise. Try opening the passenger front window and the driver side rear window.
My A/C creates a noticable decrease in power. That's just the way it is with any 4 cylinder car. |

Congrats on the purchase of a new PT. My AC doesn't get used too much because I usually put the top down.

Here's how to do plugs: Spark Plug Guide your '04 won't have vanity cover (first step) and no more EGR... And don't buy stock wires - almost any name brand is better....
