I learned something today

While doing some maintenance today, I learned that replacing the air
filter on my car (2.3 NG) is a real PITA! At one moment I fealt that I
was about to tear the entire engine apart just to get that darn filter
replaced. After a bit of wrestling I got the old filter out and the new
filter in.

I also disconnected the ISV and cleaned it, as the idle was a bit bouncy
at times when engine was warm, and also had a bit of hesitation when
cold. Well, after cleaning the ISV both malfunctions were gone with the
wind. BUt it was a bit hard to get that ISV out as well, as the two
hoses under the IM was a bit hard to get at. Anyways, all went in almost
smoothly and the car is now running fine again.

I also found some time to clean the heater fan inlet for dead leaves,
and replaced a couple of light bulbs. Next thing on schedule is to take
off the 17" Momo's and putting on the winter tires (stock size tires on
Ronal R2 7x15" wheels).
