man that stuffs potent! i've used it before I was just kinda scared it might ruin the finish or something. it got on my hand before and of course I kept cleaning like a dumb ass. i had tiny holes in my hand later that day.

well, washed it cause there was overspray all over it somehow. Was spraying in garage and it was outsides ? Well washed it and not 2 seconds later it rains. FML!

installed 1/3 of the Big 3 upgrade. and bought a universal exhaust hanger for the car, and the guy at aoutozone scanned it, but it never rang up, free parts.<<<winning.

Good reminder... one of my exhaust o-rings by the cat blew off. I knew there was something I forgot to buy.

autozone wants like 5 bucks for one of them round hanger rings, i found them at a mom and pop store for 1.50 a pop, i was like hell yeah.

Reinstalled the old, ses light setting off MAF sensor yesterday. Car is happy again and the ses light is on, but me no cares. At least the car will stay running now.

good thing a few days will pass before MAFFY may come and visit you lol

Haha. I gave the "new" maf back to Lee to return it and I think I may try to go to the junk yard and see what I can find. As long as its a series 2 3800, the maf will work right? Or what other series will work?

Lol, you don't want a series iii maf. And I'd be particularly surprised if you found series i.

as long as the part # matches (its stamped on the top of the maf) it will work. the same maf is used widely across gm cars.

Otay, I will write it down and go on a mission. I'd imagine they would be pretty cheap, maybe.

put it away for winter

i got mine for 40 at a yard, and a 60 day warranty. its 2 years old and still kicking.


and then theres the put it in your pocket deal. i dont have that deal here, parts are pulled for you, you have no free roam in the yards.
