K once again a problem w/ the 1.8...its the same problem i was just having. It sounds like its back firing w/ a load popping noise every once in a while and the car is jolting. I chased down exactly where the noise is coming from which is the mass...right inside of the intake filter. Im going to go into town here pretty soon and pick up a new filter and some plug wires but i dont believe that will fix my problem....there was a lose hose that i found but i also dont think that was the problem either....if you guys could help me out at all i would be very greatfull...hopefully you can help me by even telling me there is something i need to buy that i would be able to pick up...iv still got a warranty on my maf so if that ends up being the problem i would be able to get another one free of charge...help me out if you can

There shouldnt be anything there to make noise, are you sure its not just echoing through the intake pipe? Have you put a new cap and rotor on the car yet? The problem with my 1.8 is that it keeps ruining distributors, breaks the coil or somethign on the inside which is causing me to have no spark. Just a thought that yours could be going bad also. Just taking a stab in the dark, cause thats the only thing that keeps going bad on my car.

Edit: the only thing i that would come to mind is some kind of electrical short with the mas, there isnt anything else that i can think of that would make any noise besides maybe a loose part or something.
