Not much to say here. The rubber air intake tube had a split, so I replaced it. When I did I noticed the screen on th back of the mass flow sensor had chunks of debris in it, removed and cleaned. Then I noticed dirt in the sensor and thought WHERE THE HECK IS THIS COMING FROM!

Someone had thoughtfully installed a K&N (which I think are great filters). But this one had an inch long slice at each corner. Plus, I suspect it is not think enough to create a good seal.

I installed a factory filter.

Seat of the pants, I think I lost some power with the factory filter. I may revisit this someday.
