Random...This has to be my favorite car I've ever owned and I've named all my cars except this one. It is clearly a female but never gave her a name. She's been used and abused but she still going stong considering her mileage (108K).
Anyone else know what I mean?

What did you have to do? I'm going to do it shortly and just wanted to get all my ducks in a row.
EDIT: Just out of curiosity how much is a tranny from MSMSD?

When I decide to go to another autoX ill start a new thread.
EDIT: Btw caveman i went back checked the price for the tranny through MS. I think that price is only for the tranny casing. No internal gearing, shafts, etc. It doesnt look like they sell whole transmissions.

This is the only autocross I see:
Central Florida Region SCCA - (AX)
CFR SCCA Deland Autocross
Saturday: Non-points event
Sunday: Points event
On site registration 8 AM - 9 AM.
Deland Airport
1500 Matt Fair Blvd Deland, FL 32720
But it's like a 4 1/2 hour drive...

P0076 - Intake Valve Control Solenoid Circuit Low (Bank 1)
Was this an easy fix?

It wasn't hard. Just time consuming. If you want to get to the air solenoids, the UIM will have to be removed (which isn't hard but some of the bolts are a PITA to reach).
this is the thread I followed when trouble shooting my problems.

If you go ahead and do this let me know. Ill give you a few tips so you don't get as frustrated as I did when I was trying to remove everything.
