Hey i still wanna know if it turns out to be the MAF or PVC

all depends on driving conditions and maintenancefollow the schedule in the userguide and you'll (probaly) never have problems

yepmaybe make a recording of the sound for us ?

could be a lot of things but the easy things todo would be clean the MAF and change the PCV valve. some MAF cleaner and a new valve would be ony around $20there are enough guides on this site to tell you how todo it

meh just run the engine for a while after you spray some wd-40 on just enough too heat the block up a little they should come right out

I was talking about the (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve i also took a bit of the hose ends to make a tighter fit.better seal better vacuum

Not hard to find remove the engine cover and it's in the upper right corneryou'll need a deep socket wrench if you got one not much room around to get a nice "turn" though it can be done without and don't overtighten it

Replaced mine todayno screen mesh though9$ for a new valve and some elbow greaseseems to make a diffrence thoughdunno seems to run/ idle a bit smoother

Heh just bought my 2003 vibe about a month ago hit -5 here during the night and my wimpy stock died Got me a new one with 800CCA powa !!!must say it makes a great diff starting her upeven my headlights seem brighter !

Well this question has probaly been asked before but what is the average live expectancy of the PCV on the vibe ?and if and when you replaced it how much did it cost?mine's never been replaced i think (bought my vibe used and trying todo some catch-up on service)

Just got some MAF cleaner and intake cleaner at NAPPA

Well finnaly some time to drive after a long long week at worktook my vibe over some dirt roads today (lotsa potholes YAY)and i must say i love the handling but could be a bit more rigid i thinkwould adding a crossbar over the struts help ?

I'd also reccomend to clean the throttle valve & body with some Air intake cleaner.mine looked all grimed upshould have taken some pictures >_<

Yep cleaning your MAF should definitly be a more "mainstream" service procedure (as in everybody should do it)Wondering now if i should run through a bottle of injector cleaner (My vibe being pre owned and all)already changed all the fluids in her

Well went out today and got me a K&N drop-in filter.Took of the intake box and cleaned it out also took off the MAF and gave it a clean and did a ecu reset.To be honest i did'nt expect much result from it since the alterations are minimal but boy did it suprise me !!she runs a lot smoother now a...

Yep getting parts in this province of CA is a pain in the (removed).but getting a K&N drop-in today

Ah my manners it's a 2003 base vibe with ABS (wich was later added)found out something today thoughthe damn jack sucks balls did a rotation damn near gave me a stroke that damn heavy ;P

Preformance first i guess ^^;;car is in pretty good shape though she needs new filters "cabin and engine" just took a whole forest out of the old ones. i was thinking K&N for the engine but might go CAI because it's not all that more expensive then the drop in around here .

Well i bought my first vibe last week.Be it not a new one but a "used" car it has only 78000Km on it not bad for a 2003.And i must say i love it to death.Lots of room and a nice sporty drive.Time todo some customizing now i think anything you ppl would reccomend getting done ?
