Over the last 2 or so months i have noticed random misfires every once and a while, along with a loss of power and performance. Finally the engine light came on, spitting out the p1101 code which is a performance intake code. When I looked up the code it had said MAF sensor issue, but when autozone printed out the sheet for me it said probable cause was the turbo intercooler (not sure how accurate autozone is). I have cleaned the MAF sensor (I have a new one coming in the mail from rock auto) and replaced both the intake and the exhaust side VVT solenoids. The new solenoids made a big difference, but the car is still putting itself in limp mode upon start up. Other than replacing the MAF sensor I wanted to inspect the throttle body but im not sure where it is or how to get to it because tutorials and forum posts for this car is scarce. I'm not really sure what else to do? Car is at 105,000 and before anyone tells me just take it in and have the dealership do an inspection rather than throwing money and new parts at it, that option is not financially viable for me because im currently in between jobs. Also worth mentioning that it has brand new coil packs, plugs, and air filter. Thanks in advance
