i have an update. dealer said the mass air flow sensor, and electrical issues with the throtle body. idk how both of these were an issue at once when the car ran perfect until it broke down. also word of advise. they are only going to fix the car if everything is in perfect condition. i had broken off the finger clips on the elbow at the throtle body to slant it over to run my own cold air intake, and i had started to remove the grill over the maf, but decided not to after i cut 3 points of connection around the grill. they are making me pay for these peices new inorder to do the warrenty work on my car because its physical damage. total cost is $300 for these two peices, and $100 for the deductilble. i argued with them that those damages have nothing to do with function and they won't go for it. i then told her that i need the car fixed so do what you need to and i'll keep everything you pull from the car!
