Heya, i posted a couple days ago about my car bogging after hard shifts.
well today i did some checking, I cleaned my IAC, cleaned the TB, cleaned my MAF. checked my plug terminals and there was a blackish green goo on them, i wiped them clean. Any idea what it was?

also there was an oily substance in my intake tubing, around the MAF and inside the tube? Coud this be the oil from the air filter. the filter is new.

anyways whatever it was i fixed it, no more boggin, my guess it was that crap on the terminals i was like WTF.

lol it was probably dielectric grease on them... It's supposed to be there. It keeps the boots from heat welding themselves onto the spark plugs.

Thats oil from your filter, and most likely the cause of your previous problem.
