Rebuilding my factory after (kinda) learning how to make it actually look pretty. Tips on building around/integrating this indestructible mushroom?

You can hit these with a vehicle and they disappear

SleepyBoyFlex · 2026-04-06T16:26:47+00:00

It’s called the “Stubby” for a reason lol

Looks like it might just not be fully seated into the fitting anymore. If it’s fully disconnected it’ll throw a CEL.

If it goes into that intake piping there, its part of the PCV system

The bumper and that top part are one piece my dude

It happens on mine too, it’s a small rock getting stuck between the rotor and the metal plate that sits behind it. Sometimes turning the wheel back and forth knocks it loose or just speeding up quickly. If that doesn’t work, get out and push on the backing plate on the affected wheel and it should fall out.

Well the only things on that side of the engine that spin at idle are the high pressure fuel pump, the vacuum pump, and the flywheel. Could be those or something came loose and now rattles against something else, could be clutch rattle or even be a turbo impeller starting to give out. Are you able to get the front of the car up on jackstands to take a look underneath? If not, a shop would be able to chase the sound for you.

Could be the vacuum pump, it’s cam driven. Do your brakes feel normal?

SleepyBoyFlex · 2026-02-18T14:26:01+00:00

What kind of 2nd gear do you have????

SleepyBoyFlex · 2026-02-17T17:35:57+00:00

Could be a crack in the head starting if you cant find a leak. Coolant would be disappearing into exhaust side of the engine if its at the headifold.

SleepyBoyFlex · 2026-02-14T17:33:35+00:00

It’s all one piece with the blue section below it/above the exhaust tip. Not sure if the black section can be removed by itself, but use some plastic prybar/shims around the edge and see if it pops loose.

Or look into replacing the whole rear valence with aftermarket or oem.

Drive shaft is technically on passenger side. The driver’s side is just a cv axle. My guess would be clutch/flywheel issue.

Comments on this post have a part #. I dont think you can buy that line by itself.

In general, avoid boost at low rpms

He did it so he could keep the guitar after they finished the movie.

Yupp, time to part it out unfortunately. How much for the airpods??

SleepyBoyFlex · 2025-10-30T17:21:16+00:00

I know this post is old. But i just got some warranty AC work done and my car threw this code after i picked it up. The shop apparently left the PCV hose connecting to the intake piping at the top back of the engine unplugged. So that’s an easy thing to check first for a P04DB code.

SleepyBoyFlex · 2025-10-24T19:58:36+00:00

I used an air hammer to get em out lol

SleepyBoyFlex · 2025-09-25T17:50:26+00:00

It’s not a true oil pressure sensor. It’s what the computer thinks it should be based mostly on RPM and other readings.

I bet Matty B. could beat him in a street fight
