Ok, ill start this off, a few months ago a clicking noise started coming from under my hood, i thought it was just a valve that was out of ajustment but it is coming from my airbox...i donno what it is but if i put my hand on it i can feel it every time it clicks...any thoughts...?next off, for some reason, when my car hits lift now, it seems really weak and not like it used to...it used to be really brisk like someone spanked the car on the (removed) but now it just kinda decides it wants to climb in rpms a bit quicker. any thoughts on this? also, does anyone know how much a drivers window seal is and how much a drivers door seal is?sorry for the random crap...

The clicking from the airbox is problably the VSV, what it does I have no clue but people around here used to complain about it all the time. I bought a driver's door seal, I think it was somewhere around $75-100 but can't remember for certain.

The clicking is normal and I believe part of the EVAP system. Evaporative Emissions. For the lift issue... There is a link on the site on how to fix it. I will look for it. Here:

Yup. The clicking noise is the normal VSV sound.It is just louder now that you have the K&N Drop-in. And speaking of K&N, you should clean your MAF sensorsince it probably has a little oil build-up from theoiled K&N filter. That will affect performance.

is that the bolt that also holds one of the fuel injectors on? i removed my plastic engine cover the other day and i have a different bolt holding the very left fuel injector in, could that screw be the pointed one?

Not sure I follow you... You should not have to remove the injectors and move them. You need to remove all four spark plug coils though. I think it is one bolt per coil if I remember from changing my plugs. Is that what you are looking at?

well , when you remove the plastic cover that says VVTL_i on it, one of the bolts that holds it on is really long, i realized that the one long bolt holds a fuel injector in too, but what im trying to ask is if that long bolt is the pointed one (exhaust) in these pictures...
