I will definitely check the temp sensor. I am sceptical that it is the culprit because I have had issues before and after its replacement.

I completed a check on the exhaust system and I found no leaks. I also ensured the MAF plug and jack are fully secure. I did another vac test and the only place I saw smoke come out was the oil dip stick so I replaced the o-ring and that solved that problem so I am pretty sure that the vac system is...

That flex pipe is definitely something that I have not checked. I will also secure the plug and check for other leaks in the exhaust system. Thanks ...Wyeth

My wife's father replaced the vac system about five months before I took over repairs and service of the car. I received the car in good working order with no codes and he said that the codes he had previous to the vac/ PCV system replacement (which included the elbow) went away. I have visually ins...

My model is NA (just edited to reflect this) I have smoke tested the vac system from the intake multiple times and the shop said they smoked it as well. Are there places in the vac system where this test would not be effective? I also have replaced the vac tree (forgot to mention that (edited)). I h...

Past problems that I have had with an alternator issue in my Volvo and BMW had a Christmas tree effect on my dash but also obviously dimmed my lights as well. In my BMW the power steering pump reservoir sits above the alternator (same with my 98 NA volvo) and it leaked onto my alternator causing som...

Hello all, The problem: So for the last two years I have had the code P0172 and with it also the P0103 P0102 have come and gone with repairs but never been able to track down the P0172 culprit. Lately the car has been running roughly in idle. Previously we had a stalling issue (P0103) when coming to...

Also I think the, what I am going to call, air diverter in the air intake box is malfunctioning, so I will take your advise and just wedge open the cool air side.

Thanks for the replies!! So the car had a pretty bad stall and my wife attempted the start it a few times with no success, and consequently I think the engine flooded with gas. So, on my way to the parking lot that she and the car was located, I decided to buy another MAF from NAPA and later return ...

okay I just got off the phone with the guy at NAPA and they said they would take the MAF back. I will either exchange it for a new non-re manufactured MAF or get one from another source. Another note I saw on other posts (but with no replies containing answers) that the switch in the air box control...
