    Cleaned my throttle body because it was gunked all to hell.

    Fixed my starting issue, great!

    Changed my plugs and wires, and now I've dropped about AT LEAST 2-3 MPG's. That's underestimated, I haven't calculated it yet but I've used a very noticeable increase in fuel consumption.

    Advice/thoughts?

    Lots of people get ****ty MPG after "tune ups" because they romp the gas trying to "feel" their handiwork.
