Gracias amigo same to you sorry about the discovery, yeah I'm slowly ironing out all these rinkles.. Had no idea the extent of problems(a good deal of my hard earned cash wasted trying to fix things too up pipe/inlet hose etc.) and honestly I'm nothing short of amazed its been running as well as it has up til now.

Is this your wagon or the fozzy? Possibly your PVC? Speedele replaced mine and that was the only boost leak I had + was leaking oil onto that area/I got some oil in the intake/MAF sensor i realized yesterday..

From what you described early your car was running pig rich and bogging so there's no reason to think the O2 is bad as throwing a P0171 could would be what it should be doing!

Besides I thought you was going to swing by today, I told you I'd take a look at it for you I can scan the O2 and MAF and it's not costing you anything other than the gas to get here!

Glad I did eventually make it out

thanks again Mike I appreciate the help, drove home smooth only bogged occasionally at red lights
