I opted to pass on the Tech Pkg. The Bose stereo really wasn't all that and I found the nav a bit cumbersome compared to my Garmin. Which honestly I know my way around town well enough I really don't need one and if I do the Garmin suites me just fine. Keyless entry was cool though, but still...

I'm in the same boat..... tech or no tech. Any other opinions?

Well... nevermind. The dealership is amazingly desperate. Anywho... stay tuned I have some parts to sell.

Hey folks! Its been way too long..... Just curious if anyone out there would be interested in aquiring my MP3. Still under 100,000 miles, good tires and lots of other goods. Still have most of the factory parts too. PS:the flames are gone (those who know me know what I'm talking about) Just...

I have my stock MP3 strut tower brace.... again PM if needed and I'll see if I can find it.

I might have the one from my MP3 somewhere... keyword.. somewhere. PM me if you still need one.

Probably... I know none of your usual local places carry it. IE: Advance Auto, O'Reilly, etc. I'd sure like to know if there is any other place around that does.

Got car back from shop the other and my I was on the right track at least. I just now have it confirmed. My MAF was going crazy according to the shop, so I have a new one on order. The oil consumption is going to be chalked up to the fact my oil is synthetic, and my PCV is old. A new PCV...

She is at the local shop... should know something tomorrow.

I'll give it a shot in the morning... have to head out for the night. thanks

Just double checked my PCV, it is questionable. Its not closing completely, but it is working for the most part. My big indicator is the oil up inside the vacuum lines going to the intake manifold.... thing i just solved my own problem. I'll be trying to pick up a new PCV tomorrow morning.

the DTC was P1170 I have a feeling I may have a 2 part problem, but again we'll see once I get it to the shop.

I've only had a CEL twice and it stayed on... had to have the guys at Advance auto clear it. And both times it was the MAF. I really hope its not my valve seals... I really do. Oh well, I'll be leaving it with a guy at a local shop and we'll see where it goes. Hell, I've only got 94000...

Going to take car in Monday to the shop and see what they think. Protege Garage is selling the MAF for $199.
