    Well. I did also have a fender bender on the right side a month or two ago so it might be lingering symptoms/issues with the tire/frame. I did also add Dynamat to the doors so I have no idea, I’ll finish up putting Dynamat in the next few days.

    Guys. Is this normal throttle position? I reset the battery again and I’m thinking about going to the dealership to get it reset. Seems to be sitting a little lower than what it used to
    Picture #1: letting go fully
    Picture #2: pressing the opposite side that the throttle opens from
    Picture #3: normal position BFF686BA-BE70-4287-AC0D-0809121A066C.jpeg 3FBD5655-0523-4D83-9FA2-30AA20A3FD83.jpeg 4C3D9A72-1894-4D90-971D-E14CA6591140.jpeg

    Ok what about this? Seems the foam was dried off and came off the intake part. Could this be my vacuum leak?

    I also had a K&N air intake which I took off to test. I feel some air around the throttle/intake area

    ^ Is that the joint between the engine air intake snorkel and filter box? It's no big deal if that's a bit loose; it's just trying to source air from the (possibly cooler?) corner of the engine bay. And it's upstream of the air filter. Significant vacuum leaks would be downstream of the throttle plate.

    I have looked and looked and cannot pin point what the issue is at all. It’s still riding loud and the exhaust gets loud only when the gas engine is on.

    Is the throttle body to intake gasket sealed? Some have had an issue with that area leaking vacuum. Probably hear a hissing sound when the ICE comes on and is revved.

    What does it mean when more oil keeps leaking off the engine after air intake was cleaned and OCC installed?

    Another reaso why i think is because I experienced this when testing with Car Scanner app. I have no lights and my engine runs kinda stupid reving high when slowing down, etc.

    EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM NOT PASSED was flagged at least 3 times.

    Another reason would be because I posted on here that I did not connect one of my hoses correctly, but I remember triple checking every single connection when doing OCC, I checked like crazy. Turns out that hose could have POPPED off instead. I checked the hose again and it seemed kinda lose, like it was coming off.

    evap system not passed
    EGR system not passed after unplugging the switch and plugging it back in.

    Misfire cylinder 1 and cylinder 4. Do you guys have any ideas? I still have no codes

    Out of curiosity, can anybody help me. When doing catch can, the oil line going to the OCC is supposed to go on the OUT area instead of the IN? Basically OIL OUT?
