TheSubaruJunkie Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Yup... sounds like you already figured the problem out before we did. Time for a new MAF. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 You need to be patient on here, as stated in your now closed other post "plea for help" this isnt instant messaging. At times it will seem like it though if certain people are on USMB the topics really happen here. I agree, replace the MAF. Post in the marketplace if you are looking for one. Please also make your post titles specific to the subject so people that come on here in the future can use your posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
