When you just can't figure it out, call your G.O.A.T. mechanic
I had been chasing down an issue with the car for nearly a year. It would come and go, leaving me puzzled.
As some may know, at Boxerfest, the car fell on its face. But just when we thought we figured it out, it fell on its face again. This happened 3 more times. I spent a decent amount of money and lots of my own and friend's brain cells trying to diagnose it. I finally had had enough and called the one and only Andrew Yates. Who, by the way, built my block many years ago. Within seconds, he told me what he believed it was: the 4 bar map sensor. I swapped it out and let the car idle. Idled great. But she's done this before so I didn't get my hopes up. Weeks went by until I could actually test drive it. All is well! Finally!
The photos are of all the parts I replaced: (Perrin/Omni 4 bar map sensor, that weird filter looking thing, MAF sensor, and Grimmspeed EBCS) . I also bought a smoke machine (which I'm going to eventually use just to rule out any leaks). I'm just glad she's finally up and running. And what better timing than winter.... Not! Lol.

I’m So glad you got this figured out! It really was causing some massive issues at boxerfest and I was glad you were able to at least get the car home from there
