Well Im planning on taking it int to get it tuned, guy specializes in fords and subarus so no problem there.

I called and asked about him being able to disable vct and he said it shouldnt be a problem.

Mainly my concern is I want it to be tunable, dont want to waste money.

But I am now thinking, my maf may be screwed, my symptoms seem to be shared a lot by people with bad mafs.

Im going to drive it tonight with maf unplugged to see if there is any improvement.

Also could a bad o2 sensor really screw up the car. Im at 99k and on the originals. SO that may be it too.
