    Cars Done...

    So the guy from the shop called early yesterday morning, said that the car was fixed.. all 4 plugs on pass. side were bad, he replaced and it ran fine, payed another $70 on top of the $120 i payed the first time.. so were up to $190, and the car still isent fixed.. told the guy to go **** himself, went home, and started looking at the map sensor and tps some more... switched tps with one on my stock intake, and when i unbolted the map sensor from the firewall and unplugged it, the hose on the map sensor, just fell right off, it wasent tight AT ALL, so i bought a clamp, put it on, took it out and it was 100% WORSE, went back shut car off, changed tps (like 1-2 min) started car, took off and it didnt hesistate, backfire, miss ANYTHING, it acted perfect again..

    Also took it out today and beat on it till it was way warm and it popped once right when i first started beating on it, but after that it didnt do anything it did before, it was perfectly fine!! i think MAYBE ive finally figured it out after spending $190 on nothing, something i overlooked may have caused the problem...

    lol

    the hose hooked to the map sensor was so loose it just fell off when i took the map sensor off.. so i would assume it was just sucking air from under the hood not letting the map work correctly..
