if anyone remembers a few weeks ago the fires here in southern cali, well i was right in the middle of it, in fact it came within quarter mile of my house. anyways.....there was ALOT of smoke begging that day and for the following 5.

on that fifth day my idle started acting up and got a TPS SES light thrown.

I think a cleaning of my MAF sensor and TB will help. Can anyone recommend the name of the product to accomplish this?

anytips would be awesom as well

thanks guys

Use a cleaner that is safe for electronics. But you have to take the TB off to clean the MAF. And the fire was within 100ft of my house. =) And my car runs just fine. Seems your car is not filtering very wwell.

Darn! ya beat me. On the spot i took out the K&N drop in and put a brand new standard one in, things have seemed to stableized, but ill still do the cleaning.

thanks

With mess y'all had out there, a cleaning sounds like an excellent idea. Don't forget the screen, although the filter should have caught most of it.

By the way, as they went out, we don't get to hear much, anymore. Do they have any suspects or leads on who may have started them yet? I'd like to be there to help y'all string 'em up by thier nether regions....

Glad to hear y'all survived, tho. Hopefully those floods aren't in your area.

They got the guy in who started it in custody as the fire started. He was a lost hunter who shot off a signal flare which sparked it. the fire was small at first but helicopters dispatched to put it out were called back, so the fire grew very big very fast. On top of that Gov Grey Davis held off Marine Core fire fighting helicopters from joining the battle. Investigators arent sure if he will face murder charges as 11 people in San Diego county area died from the fires.

heres a link to see some pics from my neighborhood during the fire (not my site):

Whoa. Pictures 14 and 17 remind me of when I was in Kuwait. Due to the oil well fires, you could actually look right at the sun without squinting or anything. Creepy
