This link describes what many of you may be experiencing. I just ordered 2 air intake gaskets and will attempt to install since I have no dealer within 300 miles. I remember Tone mentioning something about air conditioner blowing hot and had a fix for it.

The search function is a bit cumbersome but spend a little time reading through the posts (search formuns for "air intake gasket") and you will find a lot. The link at the top of my post contains the one I need (I think). I tried cleaning the MAF sensor with alcohol pads --very very gently--because I had P0101 code. Still not fixed. After cleaning the check engine light has stayed off but still runs like *****. Runs at 2,000 rpm for a while, rpms jump up and down, sometimes quits all together. Air intake gasket is my next step. AM I RIGHT????

Thanks for the help Soil!

In my post below (http://www.vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?t=7519) I outlined Isuzu's "suggested" fix, which is to replace the MAF and the Air Filter. I'm definitely going to try the air intake gasket as well, now. Does anyone else have an after-market oiled air filter?
