i posted about a week ago with some questions about a bucking prob that i had. it seems that i had a loose spark plug. after tightening, the problem wasn't as bad, but was still there. i pulled a couple of other plugs and noticed a lot of carbon buildup on them. i only replaced them in septemeber. i also noticed that my intake elbow is bent and torn right where you connect it to the trottle body. my question is this. is it possible that the rip in the intake elbow is causing the maf reading to be incorrect leading to a rich condition that is making the car bog and hesitate some? Im not too familiar with lt1's so any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks
