And she's externally back together! Just a couple small things to finish and she can get an alignment and inspection! And a bath. :anitoof:

Got her alignment done, she passed inspection, and she has tags again! She is officially back on the road!

So, instead of doing a proper shake down run, we went and picked up the horse trailer that the fiancé scored for a surprisingly good deal. She held 204-207 degrees on a 94 degree day, and pulled without issue. She seemed a tad weak on some of the hills, but she also hasn't really driven at all in about 3-ish years. It felt really good to drive her again.

So, Elise died on me on my way to work this morning. In the middle of a turn. I wound up coasting into the ditch. Got her fired back up, and she ran rough and shifted hard the rest of the way in. Thankfully she threw a code, which I was able to use to determine that the mass air flow sensor was probably borked. Ordered a new one this morning from my HUB store, and got it around noon. Got it installed after a short lunch, and instant improvement all the way around. So for now, she seems good to go.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that I'm pretty sure that the failing MAF is why she felt a bit off while towing the horse trailer home. Since replacing that yesterday afternoon, she has more power everywhere, and has about a 20% increase in fuel mileage, according to the little trip computer I have plugged in.
