ill pick you up a fuel filter, and maybe a pcv valve, you may just need a tune up, but if that cover is off, the prev. owner probably monkeyed with the afm, dont worry i got spares, and can fix them. hey, hows your cap and rotor, pull the cap, and if it looks funny, get new ones. might as well, you gotta make it back home yet!

yay! Shady helped my car a bunch, and now I can decently troubleshoot my car myself now at least lol.

Got the AFM adjusted care of shady, and that intake boot (whatever the hell it was called) replaced. And my alternator was loose and to top it all off my headlights adjusted lol. What a guy.

It sucks my problem still isn't fixed though. Tried getting gas, turned it off for about 10 min, didn't start so easy. Not that I care much anymore though, because of the new spark plugs and Mr.Shady, it started without stalling first time in ages. (Oh and I had to tweak up the idle a tad bit higher than what shady wanted )

As for me going to MSA? Hah, yeah right. My car is a piece of **** compared to any of yours. Absolutely no mods, just a nice paint job. Oh and I can't even mod it apparently since it's an Auto lol. 3 Speed baby, 3 speed.

yeah, sometimes i find the idle has to settle in a bit on these cars for whatever reason, it takes a bit of a drive and a final adjustment, thought a could get away with 800 rpm! and as for the hard starting when hot, give it just a little pedal when cranking, it may help. it seemed to start well when you were over, so it was hard to find. at least your afm is much better shape now, and your mileage should increase! dont be affraid to enter your car zach, you have the basics of a sweet ride, your interior is dope, and the paint is great, being stock is nothing to scoff at.

Nooo damn your seasons! Cali doesn't have them. We just have warm, and hot. I can't take good pics of the car because of your crazy "Seasonal Weather Patterns".. Damnit! lol...

I myself am not a big fan of snow, which sucks because I live in Maine. Although the last two years have been awesome here, if it keeps up we may never have winter again

The snow has been more predominant this year in Victoria. In fact it's the most snow I've seen since I moved here 6 years ago. Crappy weather has made me able to deal with the fact that the shop has been working on my head for the last 4 months.
Come on spring... get over here.
