I uhhhh messed up. Removed the top of the air filter case and this nipple broke. I don’t know what this pipe is called but if anyone knows the name, and where I can buy a new one, that would be awesome. Thanks in advance for your help.

I’m gonna pull the valve cover and check everything, only reason I suspect a sensor is because the sensor is the only component that isn’t new.

I’m going to continue further discussion about the VVT components in the VVT discussion I just started. If the chain makes itself evident as the problem I’ll return here.

Code P2728 is a transmission code that likely came up because of the car going into limp mode. Sounds like you have a dirty or bad MAF (mass airflow sensor) which can make the car run badly. Parts stores sell a spray cleaner for the MAF

Uhhh…. Did you accidentally reply to the wrong discussion?
Possibly, I'm pretty doped up so anything is possible

I believed he replied to @G-Ram who replied to you a few posts back where he shared his experience with MAF issues and commented he had this code, and to @JohnWR who replied to him.

Come on guys, now can you translate your beer names to English? Does any of them translate to "snobby Budweiser"? 😁

Hefewizen = yeast wheat in German. It's a unfiltered wheat beer that is cloudy and creamy. Completely different from IPA's or your typical American beer like Budweiser or Coors. So "snobby Budweiser" is a good description 😁

Which is now proudly owned by Brazilian magnates Lemann, Telles and Sicupira (3G Capital), who also have bought US hpus hold names Heinz and Burger King in the past 10 years or so. One of their companies, Brazilian retail chain Americanas, is neck deep into a $8 billion balance sheet embellishment scandal discovered this year.
That would have been right up my alley before I retired. I specialized in forensic accounting, even went to the local FBI office for some training in tracking illicit transactions. Catching tax cheats was a big part of my job with the state tax commission. Corporation's are some of the biggest cheaters even though their making millions or billions in profits. Pure greed. Our biggest case was Boise Cascade, a large multinational corporation headquartered in Boise that underreported their earnings over a period of a few years to the tune of $17.5 million and we nailed them to the wall. The CFO was charged criminally but got off with a slap on the wrist and the corporation had to pay a $100,000 fine which I'm sure for them was a joke. If you have enough money and lawyers the justice system is pretty meaningless. I'm sure the heads of Americanas and 3G Capital will probably never see the inside of a courtroom and even if they do they'll get off with a small fine and nobody goes to jail. Completely unfair system that lets corporations get away with murder.

Yeah I remember you mentioned you're a CPA. My wife's an accountant too. At least I have my taxes in order 😁
