DITTO, check the intake side for sure (inside windshield cowl under the wiper arm areas)! Most cars can take quite a lot of abuse, all cars can run much better (and so much cheaper) if a simple schedule of checks and preventative actions are done. The Crossfire is one special car that runs and lasts a lot longer if little things are addressed long before they become very expensive.
