Alright, the problem isn't fixed yet but I was able to get codes from my car by stepping the gas down all the way five times, with key in run, within 5 seconds, and count the four digit codes. 1221 kept repating. That means the O2 sensor is bad. Also 1211, which means the O2 sensor has bounced off it's limits. That makes sense because of the rich condition making it rev up. I also learned from Mr. Bently that the O2 sensor is heated...

well the thing is that $109 dollars plus shipping from BSW, im betting i can find better speakers for less i know BSW makes a good product but 109 buck thats too expensive for 2.50" midranges

my inline 6 has a timing chain, but i'm sure it would still be a pain in the ass... i don't think my car is worth it...i would probably sell it and buy another one.

^ I was actually sugesting the BSW's to the OG poster there kits are steep but they sound really good....

Thru process of elimination i've determined the air mass sensor is bad or dirty. I've tried cleaning it and it still was acting up, now i'm trying to clean it again along with the electrical connection. If i need to replace it, do i need to buy the whole plastic tube and all or does the sensor pull out and i just need to replace that?

Yeah Torque that car looks really nice. I like the lowering you have going on. Could you please provide details on your lowering. I have been wanting to lower mine but it runs so smooth I haven't messed with it. However, I think the car looks ten times better. Mine is a 2 door though so it may look a little different. I like the four doors better myself. I have always been a fan of lowered 4 doors.

Interesting, I always knew they were tied in but when monitoring on the program for OBD intake rises and cools as I accelerate and coolant temp sensor starts out about 76-80df and slowly as engine idles goes to about 203 after 10-15 minutes. Does this appear to be normal? I also detected no vacuum from the one of the secondary air solenoid going back to the air pump and valve on exhaust side.I replaced the solenoid and the pump worked for 5...
