i first thought the o2s. i got two new Bosch o2s and it still loads up like a mofo. all air connections are good. i cleaned the mass air. ohm tested the IAC, it was good. in the process of cleaning it now. all the vac lines are good. i don't know what else to check. PLEASE HELP ME!!! i'm getting very very frustrated.
damn, that sucks for your dad. awesome you found it. thats crazy. i wonder how it was stuck like that.
