    I agree about Chad...a true gem in the auto parts world.

    I should add when I was ordering parts for this job I called Detroit Tuned and Chad talked me out of a little over $300 of parts. He said he didn't think I needed them. First he was right and second I really appreciate him putting good service and advice in front of selling parts.

    Map or t-map sensors Original?

    Did you clean your TV dinner air filter?

    I would also pull the plugs and check them.

    Also check your coil prongs and the plug in the back of the coil for corrosion at the connection points. Add a little dielectric grease to the connections.

    Have you checked the BPV to make sure you're getting boost? I think you can check it by zip tying it closed.

    I have a K&M cone filter but now the you bring it up I have not cleaned it. And I can make a TV tray air cleaner for you too.:D I'll even put a LMW(Lee Motor Works) sticker on it to make it work better. I did not think of the Map or T-Map, I will check when I get home it is original. I will also check the coil.

    I forgot to list that last year I put a new Detroit Tuned BPV on it.
