Ya I already called autozone on it. I'll call oreillys just for a second quote. It comes as the hub assembly.

Man am I glad I double checked. Oreillys kills autozones prices on the bearing hub and the shocks. I'll just get two oem shocks for the front for now and buy my coilovers later.

So i just got code p0507- Before i the CEL came on, i did notice that my RPM was at 1k(when idle). Anyone have this code before?

A P0507 DTC trouble code may be caused by one or more of the following:

A vacuum leak
Leaking air intake after the throttle body
EGR valve leaking vacuum
A faulty positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve
Damaged/failed/dirty throttle body
Failed EVAP system
Failed IAC (idle air controller) or faulty IAC circuit

I dont understand how i could have this problem when i only do oil changes and clean the k&n filters from time to time

Do you re-oil your K&N filter ?

I have heard that if you over spray/Oil those filters it will sometimes get on the MAF sensor and could throw you a code. I would clean your MAF really good.

I cleaned/re oil my K&N about a month ago. Is there a proper way to cleaning the MAF sensor?

I'll be there but won't be racing. I have a blown shock so I'll have to order two shocks and I have that wheel bearing crap going on. I'll have it all fixed here shortly. Definately in time for the march event.

They have MAF sensor cleaner at Autopart stores. Basically just spray it on and the I would use like a can of compressed air or your compresser to air dry it off. Should be good to go.

^ Chris, I don't think the compressed air is recommended (as per the directions on the spray bottle).

The proper way to clean it is just spray the MAF sensor with copious amounts of the cleaner then let it air dry. The MAF is extremely sensitive so be very gentle, don't touch the hole (you'll see), and don't let anything get into the hole other than the cleaner.
