Also since its a used car im sure you will need to do a minor tune up and why not change the OEM filter for an upgraded one. 80 bucks on ebay.
Well, it killed my MAF (see my signature)
But in all fairness this happened after I re-oiled it strictly following the procedures by BMC (I was actually using LESS oil than they recommended in their instructions)
