One thing leads to another..
So I replaced the IMT O-Rings. The old yellow ones were shot. They were mashed flat and there was dirt getting in and im sure they were leaking.
I also cleaned the Mass Air Flow Sensor. (I am assuming this is the item between the air filter and the throttle body) This was very dirty and I cleaned it with the CRC mass air flow sensor cleaner.
I also cleaned the throtle body opening where the butterfly valve is. This was also very dirty. Used a standard throttle body cleaner for this.
So, now the car is not going into limp mode and it seems as if the problem is gone.
However, there seems to be a new problem. As you are driving normally, if you take your foot off the gas pedal the car sort of like downshifts or jerks to a slower speed. Also, when the car is put into Drive, the RPM's come up to about 1100 and the car seems to want to go on its own with no assistance from the driver. (thats wierd!).
Is it possible to have installed something wrong when reinstalling the IMT's. Could they be upside down? IDK.
Could I have damaged the MAS? I didn't scrub it or rub it with a cloth. I just sprayed it down with the cleaner.
HELP!!
Thanks again..
