How long since a tune-up? Make sure the battery has a full charge and the connections are good. Check charging system. Use a gage and check fuel pressure. Idle air problem, clean throttle-body. Any trouble codes?

I change the spark plugs every year and the oil every 5 to 6k I only drive the car at the most 10,000 a year the battery is a little old it has a new fuel pump but I didn't change the fuel filter throttle body I took it off and cleaned it pretty good new gaskets and all I didn't change the trans fluid or the tranny filter this year yet the only problem that I see is I have only one elect fan workingthe motor burned out on the other fan not sure where to go from here can't give up
