        What I can tell you on your intake If you take off the metal pipe that goes from your cooler to your plastic intake set it aside of course make sure it's clear and run a reamer down that plastic intake that's the passage that connects the four ports the ports

        You can lose and all that stuff up with a coat hanger then suck it out with a shop vac and then just blow on the end of the plastic intake where the metal pipe goes and you'll be able to blow through there no problem I would be seriously shocked if they're that clogged on your car at 30K no matter what's been going on with the car That's not enough time for anything to

        I'm looking for my notes I can tell you one was poor engine performance engine failed to start is the other one and there were two more and as soon as I cleaned the MAP sensor that stuff was gone I've never seen a map sensor make a car run like it was going to fall apart I've seen a lot of them go bad in other cars in other cars

      hey, we're the same age! at 30k, can you think of any possibilities? my theory is clogged intake ports due to the thousands of times it has come on, gone through the warm up stage and shut down because i'm driving ev. hard to believe it's plugs, coils, maf, throttle body etc. at that mileage, and i've only ever used mobil gas. i tried to make a video, but it only does it under load. even worse on regen

        In text stream when I scan the car it was showing me an orange all these bad values supposedly for my throttle body which to me made no sense as soon as I cleaned the map all of that stuff in orange magically went away so I guess the map sensor will obviously has something to do with the throttle body and it's control

      Tom, Agreed about the snakes. In fact I encourage them too, but alas my neighbors shoot them, and so lately there have been few snakes of any kind seen around here. For a few years I had a beautiful black racer that lived under a large boulder in my garden, but alas he disappeared. Nice to meet someone who appreciates the beautiful reptiles!

      Hi Tom! Do you have any suggestions for an inexpensive cat converter brand for my gen 2? Ours was stolen. I've tried searching here, but some product links no longer work, and some cat's had bad reviews on Amazon or Ebay (they don't work after a few months, etc.). We're in VA, so no restrictions like CA has. Thanks for any help! Roger
