well, that was about a screw, and i totally freaked out!
anyways this is about a CEL and, rest assured i am scared out of my mind.
this is how it goes, i was on my way home to change and go to work, so its like a scorching 100+ degress out and i go home and change, i come out, start the car. and immediately, somethings wrong.....as best with my limited car vocab as i can describe it, the idle was rough and sputtery, like there was a big cloth over the intake filter or something. AND the throttle wouldnt work. so i shut off the car. and POW the CEL is on. Now i drove around after work when it was nice and cool, so im guessing its drivable, but, i want to find out whats up. im taking it to the dealer thursday. So it wont be a big problem.
ive got Ebay intake, and 2.25 midpipe.
a couple things that i concluded were possiblities were;
1. not enough oil (but i just passed the 10k mark and had it changed not too long ago)
2. Ebay intake not filtering properly
3. TOO hot? when i popped the hood the intake was hot to the touch.
4. silicone vaccuume tubes melted?
5. HELLLP!!!!
THanks! mike!
