my engine is idling bad again :( i can;t figure out the issue after pepboys worker screwed with my suv

i got it going for a while then it started messing up again today :(


might just have to sell it and take a loss on it and get something else...

idle sucks a bit rough.. No Auto stop as well (well i like getting good mpg on mine in the city).
.
normally if auto stop is not working that means there is an issue..


its an issue with the MAF or MAP (might have damaged the oring when they screwed with it )



A/C works even better after cleaning it (by hand with a toothbrush:challenge:) really clean and got rid of all the bug corpses on the a/c evaporator


at lest 10% better cooling :)
it got cold faster anyways.. with in a few seconds like it should

What was Pep Boys doing to it?
I had a oil change and shortly after i had a CEL for the map sensor p0069 stalled out ( restarted automatically)


then after plugging it back in it has been a reoccurring issue since... suspect vacuum leak at the map sensor (oring)... it's the cheap clip on type and not torx screw on type

??? they unplugged the map sensor for a oil change?
yeah they wanted to make some extra money guess replacing a map sensor it's like 200$ total part is 80-90$



dirty oil was under the plastic engine cover and you and i know the oil cap is not near the engine cover nor is need to be removed to change the oil...

it literally takes seconds to change the map sensor, lol
yeah they still charge a hour labor Yeah i can change it my self No problum that is not that point i did not want to buy one because of a bad oring

it's pretty clear the oring is damaged I got AutoStop working again after moving it around... so the sensor it self is working ok

Now i just gotta deal with the squeaking noise from the brake pads they are chipping apart and making a bunch of noise I have a pick that will use to remove the loose particles there is about 7mm of pad left

new map sensor comes with a new o-ring, the o-ring is not part of the intake, it's part of the map sensor
