Re: Hesitation....

[Kevin <aventari@cts.com>]

Ive been having this SAME problem, and just yeserday i found the air flow
sensor boot had a 1 inch rip hidden in the back. I am 99% sure this is my
problem, but with my new job i dont have anytime to go to a boneyard and
get a boot. (The job is awesome, it's just really time consuming!)
