So I put the screen back in. My car has always been a little touchy with intake mods. I didn't get any CELs though... so that was good.

Yes, I did that last week.
It was running "rich" as a result of taking the screen off. MAF has been cleaned with the CRC QD contact cleaner 1000 miles ago. And I am using the OEM panel filter so no contamination from K&N oil.

I've even machined the groove out, where the screen once went.
Whats the "smell" you wrote about?

the infamous smell....
of sulfur! Nasty rotten egg smell. I hadn't smelled it for a LONG time. You might remember that I had this problem for a while, but fixing some vacum leaks and other things seemed to fix it. I don't even remember the last time I smelled it (last year sometime).
