Sadly exactly what I was thinking when I read his post. Best left alone.

Looks Like U Are A Fellow Tip Owner...So...Open The Hood..Locate The Airbox...And Follow The Intake

hose from the airbox towards the firewall. The hose will enter a round black cylinder like device ("the MAF" - with electrical wires that connect it to the ECU) that connects to another intake hose that is ribbed (aka "the accordian").

This ribbed intake hose connects to the Y air intake that you see when u look at the engine from above. The black cylinder like device ("the MAF") should have hose clamps connecting it to the other sections. Take a screw driver and loosen.

good luck.

P.S. - if this doesn't help - get a professional tech to point it out. Also STFA ("search the fukking archives") - I'm sure there's a picture of a MAF in the archives.
