I think the clip on the MAP sensor broke. Went out to take a look and the connection had fallen loose. I slid it back up but couldn't get it to click. Verified readings again and correctly had boost being registered both on the car display and movement on the AP - previously it was static at...

Picked up a P0098 and a P0108 about 10 minutes from home a bit ago, the fun never ends :) Clutch pedal assembly ordered.

I did not and you bring up an excellent point. I have mothers day obligations tomorrow but I don't have to be anywhere during the week next week. I'll go ahead and take it off and look at the whole assembly. Though I'm also at the point if I'm going to remove something that is 10 years old I...

So I don't see any cracks or bends in the clutch pedal assembly. I just vacuumed the car for the first time in probably a year and used my carpet cleaner in the car for the first time ever. Lets just say the water I dumped was...nasty. Worse than any apartment carpet I've cleaned over the...

I remember reading about people getting cracked clutch pedals before - I did a quick glance while I was cleaning up the carpet a bit and didn't see anything obvious. The pedal does have an annoying squeak at time. I'll climb under there with a real flashlight and see.

Got a misfire again on the highway on Easter, cylinder 4 this time. I knew I had just replaced the spark plugs and cleaned the valves when I did the intake and valve cover gaskets. Stopped at autozone and picked up a coil pack. Problem solved. I am unhappy with my clutch engagement, same...

Thank you. Weight off my shoulders for the time being. And you were totally correct - it was definitely something post MAF, thanks for the tip o_O. But no, I knew it was something I had undid I just didn't redo and should wait for rested eyes. But thanks for reading and commenting...

New coil pack and I'm back to 'normal'. I'm not sure if my normal is a true normal but the car runs and drives like it should.

Yep - missed something alright - missed one of the hoses on the manifold, underneath - don't recall its function. Got him re-attached and started no problem. I now have misfire on cylinder 2 - just picked up a new coil pack as the plugs are brand new. Giving a bit of time to cool, do some...

Once it warms up a bit in the garage I'll go and remove everything I had removed before and then re-assemble, possibly missed something. Startup...or not - The way my weeks have been going lately I'm just getting overly concerned about having bent or broke something. I just needed to last...

Everything back together, checked my hoses and connectors but currently in a no start situation. Ignition occurs, it will rev briefly and then quit. If I give it gas it will run for a minute then cut out. Sounds awful too, I may or may not have heard a crack sound? Not seeing any extra...

One of the local dealers had a set - picked up 3 bolts just in case to hold me over. I'll re-start this tonight - work is on fire.

Interesting. The M6x1x40 will not finger thread into the suspect hole. Stock bolt will. The M6x1x40 will finger thread to the bottom in any other location. I emailed Advanced Performance from their website to see hat sort of expedited shipping they could manage. Going to call the 2 or 3...

You are most likely correct, I haven't tested anything further yet, dinner wasn't gonna make its self, just jumping to conclusions really. I need to step back, look at again tomorrow.

Those are it, thank you and I will keep them in mind, I like them! Found a bolt that will work for now. 'Cept the receiving thread is jacked up about 1/8th of an inch down bolts bind up. Guess I will be attempting a re-thread now.

Correct! Has a sliding sleeve with a rubber o-ring around it. Changing to studs is a brilliant idea, do you have any tips since you've been down this road, or if you have it posted I'll go hunt your submissions. I'm trying to find the pitch and thread of the bolt but I guess I can take it to...

Got it. Masked off the area around it, used locking pliers gave it a twist and it came right out. Need to inspect the hole and then figure out where to get a replacement sooner rather than later.

That's what I'm leaning towards as well, I've been carefully dinking with it. I do have a thinnish nut that threads the same, tried it on one of the other bolts. I can get it on as tight as it will go finger tight. I also found I can rotate it freely clock wise deeper into the channel but...

Kinda put a whole shit sandwich in my day. I could still clean the valves I guess but it is much less appealing without the valve cover on and sealed to keep crap out of it. I've never had a bolt extractor work for me once and I do not have a welder...though at this point I am not opposed to a...

And my deepest fear made real. This is in spot #1 in the middle. Been making slow rotations through the bolts tightening a bit around each time. This happened at maybe 30 in-lbs? I'm thinking I might have tightened it farther than it could tolerate on this rotation. I haven't touched it...
