Back story, continued
Right away I noticed a problem; the car was running "odd". It barely made it to the gas station. I blamed the 4-6+ year old gas. If I remember correctly, my dad said the last time it was registered was 2006! That is some old, nasty ass gas! I filled it and it still went through a lot of gas. Then it threw an CEL.
After a long search it turned out to be this little bastard.
The "gas filter" as it is called by Mitsubishi and Toyota was broke. This connected inline from the intake manifold to the MAP sensor. I bought a new one from Toyota for around $36 shipped.
