      If you’ve worked on cars for any amount of time you’ve done something wrong I’m sure, feel free to share it here.

        yes, to the air box. it is just a tube with the sensor embedded between the air box and the intake manifold. I guess it is standard, looks very similar to most MAF sensors on 1.6 to 2.5 L engines in general.

          One that sticks in my mind was last year , when fitting a manifold insulator to my old car , I neglected to re-seat one of the injectors correctly , and this caused a fuel leak , so I went start then car thinking all was well , and a spark caused a smallish fire from the plenum region , this was having previously dropped two bolts down into the chamber while re- fitting the plenum to the runners and intake .
          I might add that I’m not a mechanic , I’m a Police Officer , so no mean comments . 😛

            I did a good one today.
            While under a cube van I had the pleasure of being caught by the boss asleep with the oil filter wrench in my hand and the wrench on the filter. I have been extremely busy at work and was so tired that I fell asleep on the creeper with the wrench in my hand.
