i just finished cleaning that sensor and plus i also found out that the MAF sensor on my Veronica(VX) was backwards, hmmmm don't know how , but i fixed it, and with those two things done, and cleaned out, WOW, huge diffrence in Accel... and response, i can'tg even discribe the diffrnce but i can feel a big jump from being sluggish and slower to really feeling like i'm driving a stick car. its really that big of a jump and it's weird. Thanx for the info silverbullet.
Hmmm, interesting thread with very credible and pertinent information. Perhaps, Moncha (Scott) can attach this thread to the "How To's" column for future reference related to fuel/starting issues.
Thanks. I'll try cleaning it. I just had the 120k tuneup 6000 miles ago and they did change the fuel filter and checked the fuel pressure regulator for leaks and it was "fine". I have a call into the tech today and they will call me back to see if i need to bring it in. They said to not worry about it yet unless it keep happening.
Call me a geek, or maybe even nerd, but face the facts, we da ones be rulin' this world!
A word of warning be careful when unhooking this as the blue rubber gasket can fall off quite easy and in some cases fall into the hole by there which is impossible to get out. On the bright side there is a purplr and black connector on the air filter tube going to the motor and the purple gasket can be used to replace the blue one til you get to the parts store and replace it.
