I've got an extra MAF in the garage - going to swap them out and start logging once there's enough snow for donuts...

Hopefully I don't need a new O2 sensor - it would be my third in 144k miles.

AF Learning A+B keep pegging at -15%

Got my OBXT tuned for new injectors this fall, and the new tune picked up 30hp and 120tq over the old tune. Very pleased!

If you want to do suspension mods, the OBXT doesn't have great options. You could swap a LGT suspension, but why not just look for a nice LGT instead? They're out there. In 2006 I went from a 96...

There's no serpentine belt on our cars. One A/C belt and one power steering/alternator belt. Did Jiffy Lube offer you their platinum signature serpentine belt replacement service?

Interesting. I assumed E85 would be less prone to clog injectors since it's such a powerful solvent. Took a good look at my tank when I replaced the gasket - looks brand new. I use Techron...

I installed a Walbro when I went E85 at 90k miles, no new gasket. It didn't start leaking for 2 years after that. Apparently I should've replaced it then. It's only a $9 part.

Leaking fuel pump seal - possibly from E85?

A clogged injector would cause rough running and idling for sure. If that's not happening, look to inlet or vac leak.

My tuning showed that on 93 Octane, you don't need fueling mods with a VF52. But if you have access to E85, I *highly* recommend it, with 816cc+ injectors and a pump.

I have had two failed yellow tops (Perrin modifeid 816cc) and a clogged stock one - Witchhunter handled all three for me. The failures were caused by bad coil windings.

As shown in the pictures, I bent the front of the plate in, so the bolts no longer line up with the 5MT holes.
