Oh well, clean till tomorrow. (2-4 inches of snow due)

Kinja'd!!!

I'm still pissed that my long term fuel trim is on the mid-high "acceptable" range (now at ~5.5 to 6.1% last time I checked) . Initially, it was creeping outside of 10% and on a hunch I replaced my MAF sensor. Turns out, the MAF sensor had cracked sealant around the internal circuitry and just by replacing the sensor, it helped bring my LTFT down below 10% . As a bonus, the new MAF sensor hath gifted me with better fuel mileage too.

I also just installed a new upstream o2 sensor as well.

So anyways, I just wish I knew a shop around here that had a smoke tester. I REALLLY wish I did. Stupid complicated vacuum system that's located mostly under the intake manifold.

At least they salt the roads by you. I live near a reservoir so all they do is dump a bunch of sand that quickly becomes brown ice.

To be honest, its a shit ton of both. They'll turn a nice snowy road into sand colored sludge.
