I double checked everything, and found that I had a small fire from the power steering leak.

The O2 sensor wiring was fried, the plastic had melted away and likely a short resulted. That could have fried the same.

I cut the airbox out and repaired the wiring. Cheap CAI on the way now I suppose.

Second, I'm 90% sure the maf is fried also. The jumpy idle went away after I unplugged the maf. Just ordered a new maf so we will see about that.

I see plenty of dme's on eBay. Where do you get the VIN coded? And is that pricey or a quick thing? You need the donor Vin right?

Thanks again!
