If you were under the car, look near the A/C compressor. It sticks right out of the timing cover next to the compressor.

So..... I feel like a complete idiot.

I was checking underneath my car to see how my cps is and found something quite interesting

Uptop when I was checking for leaks you couldn't see much but down below the orange color gave it away.. Thanks guys for helping out as much as possible I really appreciate.

It's usually the first thing I like to do is check for leaks and vacuum openings. I shouldve known the engine wasn't getting air cause of a big ass leak lol

Looks like a normal open atmosphere bypass to me. Lets keep tearing it apart!

It does look like some T-bolt clamps could be in order when you do your next upgrade shopping list :)

If it was me I would replace the crank position sensor. They are cheap and IIRC, the tack should move while cranking the motor over. Not just after it starts.

Engine would never start with a failed Crank sensor. When cranking the computer looks at the Cam sensor for TDC and then starts counting teeth on Crank sensor. If it is bad computer will not be able to locate TDC to fire injectors and coils. Once car is running it only looks at Cam sensor for VCT control and fire injectors and coils off Crank sensor.

Thanks for the heads up.. But wasn't starting at all which is why I thought it was that I guess with maf unplugged to it wouldn't start
