GOOD!
Just be safe.
Luckily no ice here.

Try using the Vin decoder under the tools menu on this site to figure out the 1, 2, or 3. I'm pretty sure it lists the trim specs, options, along w everything except interior and exterior color.

No real restaurant? What's the population of your town?

Population of his town is 1500. And no real restaurant, just fast food. I'd think that'd be enough peeps to support a few unless they all went under during the recession.

Any luck w the Vin decoder thing?

Alright, finally got out there with a pencil and paper to jot down the VIN. If you check my signature it has the info ya'll were wanting. Also, I found a NAPA auto parts store while I was out learning the roads. They fixed me up with a brand new air filter, and we didn't even have to "trim" it down any. Ended up going with ATP, that's what my dad had in there before I got it.

Sweet -- NAPA seems to be a notch above Autoboner and UnAdvanced in my book anyway.

Cleaned my MAF and TB today, amazing difference in the engine's start up. Still showing the check engine light, gonna take it to a auto store tomorrow and have them scan it for codes to see what shows. Also, will I need to clear the code for the intake or does it automatically fix that?

Wish I could have gotten better pictures of the dirty throttle body, it was filthy.

Just undo your battery for a little while and it will clear them.
But damn, that looks good man!
Hopefully it fixes the issues. If not, let me know. I just picked up an Ion I'm parting out, and can hook you up.

Alright, I'll unhook the battery in the morning. It looks and is running so much better, thanks again everyone for the heads up on the TB and MAF.
