With my limited knowledge I would look at the induction kit. The 99 cars are know for their fragile maf sensors and induction kits see to upset them big time as they can not filter down low enough.

That's very unfortunate, sounds like you just got a dud mate. Condolences. How many miles has it done and previous owners etc... Did you get it inspected prior to purchasing?

I'm thinking of changing my JDM wagon for a shogun ( need more space for dive kit) so how bad is the shogun experience ?
