    Yes, welcome to the family ... and to the adiction.

    I'll second what MS said. Start with the more simple solutions and work upward from there. Most of that should probably be done anyway.

    Replace the fuel filter
    Replace the air filter
    Clean the MAF sensor
    Clean or replace the PCV
    Clean the EGR system
    New spark plugs wouldn't be a bad idea
    Clean the Idle Control Valve
    Clean the Fuel Pressure Regulator

    Also don't forget to keep an eye on your oil consumption & on your CV boots.

    There are threads on just about all of this. Let us know if you have any trouble utilizing the search function to find stuff.
