Project: Space Wagon

[Senor_Taylor]

Occasional stumble on low rpm (2-3k rpm), low throttle accel in 2nd/3rd and steady state cruise on highway in 5th/6th.  The annoying thing is that its not very repeatable.  Coil packs and plugs time, I think, parts ordered.  Car is a 68k miles.  Given my low desire to work on shit in the winter and lack of garage space, I will trade my time for throwing parts at the car that may not be needed.  

I dug into the depths of the internet and occasionally the MAF, vanos, and valvetronic sensors either go bad or their seals fail and they cake with grime but I'm going with occam's razor here.  It looks like I should probably clean my vanos solenoids, easy to do with the engine cover off.  The MAF is $300 for an OE part so I'm not inclined to do that, but looks like they do fail.

I have a super unheated garage and I owe you.  

Can also clean the MAF with MAF cleaner but I have never fixed an issue doing that 

Like honestly, who has cleaning it ever worked for? lol

*raises hand*

Hell, the E30 had a check engine light and i cleaned a coolant sensor and fixed it. It's the little things.
