When going up steep inclines

The temperature returns to normal when I turn the A/C on or return to a flat surface

Check for leaks on the intake tube & I thought the knock sensor don't give any code? Well the scanner print out knock sensor on the receipt and well the old one was burnt out badly so I guess it does pick it up. And Yea i hearing the air by the throttle body there, but I not finding the leak :/...

So hear this right, it ever have a case where the MAF could just totally malfunction even if you clean it? My idle real rough and i getting fedup because I still cutting off like every Friday. My coilpacks, spark plugs, plug wires, crank n shaft sensor and knock sensor relatively NEW. Yes i do a dia...

What I do is not wait for it to get too dirty, to avoid touching it, but be aware that the o-ring expands with these cleaners/spray & gives a hard time to fit back in to screw 'em down. Try not to get any spray on that o-ring. Have no O-Ring -__- The previous owner probably do sumn with that cu...

That dry looking brown part of the maf is actually the iat -intake air temperature sensor. You can use a cotton swab and maf cleaner to clean it. If u turn the maf upsode down & look below the iat you will see two little resistors...if grey or white it good & not too dirty, if brown the maf...

Also, I pull out my MAF sensor today and tried cleaning it with electric contact cleaner and realized that the side facing airflow just dark and burnt looking and the other side kinda tinted brown and b...

If the water pump sticks on these engines, there's going to be an external indication ie belt slipping on the pulley. Thermostat or temperature sender more likely. Have you examined the coil packs? If there is a leaky one, that's 2 cylinders non functional. It can cause random idle issues as well a...

My engine keep dieing on me when stopping sometimes and giving a hesitant pull off. First! It was a cracked spark plug that was doing that. Afterwards it worked nice for about 4 months. 2 weeks ago it started back, did a diagnostic and all the diagnostic pick up was the knock sensor. Change that, wo...

StileHD

Did that...it worked the same. I haven't got the problem lately, but I didn do anything to fix it. Did a diagnostic by automotive in Arima, it only picked up that my knock sensor was bad, nothing else. Noticed my rotors have some fine cracks on them however.
