i've actually had my fuel filter checked out..oh, and that reminds me...my vacuum hoses aren't plugged into its designated area, but the mechanic told me it was leakin something..so he plugged nails into it...lowkey, i passed my smog test with the car in that condition which was a lil confusing..does any1 care to share on that note????

some of the lines are pointless so depends on what lines where pluged...

as for what "ecu" means it stands for electronic control unit

and the "iacv" is idle air control valve...

lmk if u find the problem
