In my first post here I mentioned that my car seemed to have a tough time getting up hills. Power was...lacking. I was thinking plugs, wires, distributor, etc etc... Then I had a bright idea. Maybe, just maybe, I ought to see if the air filter is a little dirty. Maybe that has something to do with it. Jeebus, if I'd realized how bad it was... Not just filthy, but part of the rubber had also begun to f*cking MELT. You'll see below. Anyway I spent a bit of time this evening hitting my local auto parts stores looking for a replacement filter. O'Reillys, AutoZone, Advance, even Wally-World. Not a Fram CA4383 or Wix 46119 or anything else anywhere to be found. I returned home, defeated, and shoved a paper towel in the intake snorkel tube or WTFever to prevent any critters from taking up residence in my throttle body. I'm guessing that once I get a decent, clean filter in there my Tracer will be able to breathe deeply and I won't have to downshift to get her up a hill.
