new update.

i finially talked to the guy working on the car. problem is maf went out and also shorted the throtlebody electronics. thats covered under warrenty. also, there is a crack on the intake elbow where the vacume line goes in. they are charging me he says $160 for the part, and $140 for labor. i asked why labor on a simple part and he said its becuase there is a oil seperator on that plastic body that he has to pull off and build onto the new unit. does this sound right? i don't have my car so i can't look at one. i seem to remember its only a mount for the vacume line with a straight through hole.

also note that friday when i taked to the service rep, she had told me the replacement part was around $120. seems like he's makeing up for some diognostic time to me.
