Maybe one of the spark plugs got fouled. When is your next maintenance due?

Increase in traffic?

maybe a clogged injector or dirty carburator

Spark plug, air filter, change oil, tune up

SIRS actually i just got this car last april 24. i replaced in two days within my possession all the plugs, air filter, timing belt, crank/cam shaft, velocity joints, radiator, accelerator and cable. everything went fine until last week. the fuel consumption went up...also to mention, i cleaned the throttle body, IAC is fine. im suspecting it could be the fast idle screw that's the culprit coz i found it closed tight and when i put it back after cleaning, i closed it tight as well. idling and running perfectly normal though...what do you think? by the way, i change gear (ease up the pedal,it's A/T) before reaching 2000rpm...
