    hard to make it sound good typing. ah sue the place is just stupid. i was told yesterday we now have a horrible rep for our work quality. it all comes from 2 guys the one of us that does the shitty work and the boss for letting him continue. in the mean time i'll be hammered to improve already good quality and speed up. go figure

    I have to catch up what I"ve missed and some of you guys don't know how to multi-quote, so there are many more posts to go through :p

    Don't let them hammer you....I know, easier said than done.... but try and take it easy on the shoulder. I know the ones that do a good job always get the worst end of the deal :(

    Sounds like what I had happen to me while working as a diesel mechanic .I had workers under me that didn't know anything about being a mechanic. They screwed up more things than fix them , I constantly had to baby sit them

    the problem is they actually cause me more work and when i have to take the time to watch them it takes away from my work time then i get fussed at for how long it's taking. the whole thing is just a stupid vicious circle of stupidity. i'm trying very hard not to let this crap bother me although it may not seem like it

    I found out what was causing my driveability issue with my Tacoma . I guess an oem MAF sensor does wear out LOL !!! . I replaced mine today and what a difference in performance noticed . I've been experiencing sluggish acceleration , crappy fuel mileage and idle quality problems

    I've tried cleaning the OEM MAF numerous times but that would only last a week or more at most . I'm happy on how its running now I might even replace the coil packs with aftermarket Accel items to get more spark to the plugs

    I'm not used to working on newer electronic controlled vehicles so I'm a slow learner but looking to get as much hp as I can out of the 4 cyl if I can get near 300hp ill be happy

    Good news.
    I have room in the warehouse this year for my boat. So I don't have to do 2 more hours of winter prep.
    So I can clean the inside the bilge area and paint the prop and wax the motor. I don't have to take the batteries out, trolling motor, rods etc. so I will Be able to hook the boat up and head right to the water next year. Yabba dabba dooooooo.....

    I kept doing research about my driveability issue for quite some time and everything I read all came back to a faulty or worn out MAF
