The AFM might have been bad even before you sprayed it, giving you that bad of gas mileage. That is the easiest test you can try about your rough idle even before your new parts come in. If the rough idle goes away you can save the plugs and wires for when you change the timing belt you mentioned. This is just some advise, which is what you asked for, from people who know these cars and have had these problems. Personally, I don't think the breather hose is your problem. But you can check that quick by wrapping the crack with duct tape temporarily to see if it idles different.

I know Banshee isn't color blind, and besides you had no picture at the beginning, so again more snarky stuff, you didn't even read what he said, he never said the color is, he said if. This is a great site to get help on, and to do the attitude with Banshee is really bad, he so far has been the best ever for posting pictures of and great tutorials of how to work on these cars.

Big deal ha! I am not here for chat. I asked for an advice and if you can't help just move. Whoever creates account on this form is asked about his car model and year. You can look at the profile of the user and find out what car he or she owns.

We play nicely but the top guys are budding out anytime this one comes here.

Success! Finally my check engine light and traction light turned off after replace AFM (MAF). Thanks to all the members that give me the advice on this issue. Special thanks to deanshark and dicer. I am sorry If I have made any one upset. I was stressed and wasn't thinking right. Thank you every one again!
