Well yesterday I changed the rear end oil out, and put some new brake pads on the front. Just about ends my tune up other than doing the coolant flush.

put the SLP intake kit on, Lid, MAF and Bellow. Seems to have a little more throttle response.

well yesterday i did the front end conversion, then installed a new vacuum solenoid, new vacuum lines, and ran a diag. on it so i could see what is making it miss at 2500 rpm . also chainged its oil and oil filter, cleaned the morose air filter, and an 02 sensor. AND cleaned it out, so i was busy to say the least. all after working from 5a-2pm. gotta love it!

btw, any suggestions on what the problem could be? its got a new opti, so i dont see how it could be it. maybe the maf? or egr valve? am i missing something?
