I replaced the mass air flow sensor this morning (Courtesy of the amazing guys at Nalley getting it to me in less than a day!), reset the codes, fixed the vacuum leak, and took her through the paces today. No CEL and no RP! Let's hope it stays this way haha.



Note: To make it small screen friendly , I edited it

Was the car running when the picture was taken?

I had just finished washing/waxing her right before that picture was taken.

I'm asking because if that antenna is broke, fix it! Your car looks fantastic but broken antennas are a pet peeve.

You know. I honestly didn't even know it was broke lol. I'll definitely have to take care of that. Is the motor for it difficult to get to?

I thought I was the only one with that pet peeve!

Nope, you are not the only one!

The motor isn't difficult to get to and likely you only need to replace the mast. There was a recent thread here about changing it out. I disabled mine because I really only listen to satellite radio so there is no need for the antenna to be up.

Car looks great... those rotors are massive. Heck, I don't know how you guys spotted anything wrong with that antenna. I better get my eyeballs checked.
