When we put the engine back together in my 98 OBW we thought the peice that connects to the air intake had been cut off where it mounts into the fender. I found out later that it just popped on but it was tossed by my mechanic by mistake.

 

So, with this missing, would it give the Mass Air Flow sensor a complex and contribute to a rough idle?

which piece?

no worries. all that does is to direct air from ''near'' the grill to the the air intake under the fender. so instead of ''grill air it will draw engine compartment air.

 

if you can find a replacement i would get it and re-install it, but the car will run just fine without.

I'll hit the u pull it and grab one at some point.

 

Just trying to narrow down the misfire codes I keep getting. Stil need to check the coil and related areas. Hopefully I can come across the tools to do it. Can't afford to take it to the mech and don't have the $ to get the tools to do a proper troubleshooting.
