I replaced the IAB last spring when this first started.  It didn't help, but
gave me a chance to visit the ER when I sliced my finger on the metal gasket
behind it.  Could the MAF be causing this, or maybe the HEGOs?  I read on
the Shotimes that it could be a dirty connector to the MAF.  What would be
the best way to clean it?  This totally stumps me.

Thanks for the reply.
