To date, building designers have had to
investigate air filters under their own initiative, because the current standards and those taking effect next year take no account of small nanoparticles.
During my
investigating i noticed the check engine light didn't come on when i unplugged the MAF, and it was also coated in engine oil which had leaked all the way down into my
air filter from a gummed up pcv so now im under the conclusion i prolly need a new MAF sensor AND a throttle body... ouch!
