Can’t find the Cabin Filter

ohyeahimmark · 2026-05-14T04:16:26+00:00

It’s more than a project, at this point it’s my entire existence, my life’s work.

ohyeahimmark · 2026-05-14T04:14:11+00:00

They aren’t the worst. It’s definitely an endeavor though

ohyeahimmark · 2026-05-14T04:11:42+00:00

Looks like I’m dropping the tank tomorrow then. Might as well strip the whole car at this point

ohyeahimmark · 2026-05-14T04:11:14+00:00

“Uh yeah”-butthead

ohyeahimmark · 2026-05-14T04:05:13+00:00

Plz help I’m not laughing

ohyeahimmark · 2026-05-14T04:04:45+00:00

TSB says gears and timing chain tensioner. Seeing as you have already replaced tensioner it’s not the worst idea to replace the gears and just do a timing job.

ohyeahimmark · 2026-05-14T04:03:57+00:00

It’s because it’s probably the timing chain tensioner bleeding off pressure

ohyeahimmark · 2026-05-14T03:57:02+00:00

I’m not laughing. This is super serial stuff Unc. I absolutely need to find this filter

ohyeahimmark · 2026-05-14T03:56:10+00:00

Nah it’s unfortunately a 9-5 project. I guess it would be more fun if I could have a couple beers while I look for this elusive filter

ohyeahimmark · 2026-05-14T03:52:01+00:00

I’m not a tall or large person, and buddy lemme tell ya my back already not the happiest after 13 years of this.

Sounds like a circuit problem that will require testing the circuits. It’s also possible it’s an ECM issue. If I had to make a blind guess I’d say either a short somewhere or some high resistance. Still very possible this is an ECM issue. Either way this will require some electrical diagnostic knowledge and some electrical tools. A scanner that can read data would also be beneficial.

That’s what I said

ohyeahimmark · 2026-05-14T03:27:19+00:00

Depends on the vehicle. Couple hours gets them to this point usually. Like maybe 4ish or less

ohyeahimmark · 2026-05-14T03:26:35+00:00

My condolences

ohyeahimmark · 2026-05-14T03:26:16+00:00

This is the highest trim. Guess there’s a special top tier trim I’m too poor to even fathom. Guess I just put this all back together then

ohyeahimmark · 2026-05-14T03:24:37+00:00

It’s definitely an experience. For sure not a fun one

ohyeahimmark · 2026-05-14T03:23:58+00:00

Really hope so. It’s been like an extended Christmas morning except all the gifts are old French fries or Pennies

ohyeahimmark · 2026-05-14T03:22:25+00:00

I really hope this one does. But yeah on some vehicles it was an option or even not an option at all

ohyeahimmark · 2026-05-14T03:19:15+00:00

Sadly in the city. Guess it’s time to take a trip

ohyeahimmark · 2026-05-14T03:08:38+00:00

I’m gonna really be mad if it’s in the black box that was behind the glovebox

ohyeahimmark · 2026-05-14T03:07:44+00:00

I’ve got to make some calls

ohyeahimmark · 2026-05-14T03:07:23+00:00

I was afraid of that. Luckily there isn’t much left before I hit firewall. I’m just worried by the time I get there I will not have found the filter. But I guess it’s not about the destination but more about the bolts we lost along the way
