These reading look okay, if the intake boot is torn it will not allow the MAF to give a reading to the PCM which will then shut down the injectors fyi so that might be the problem.

Did my message of cylinders 4 and 6 not load? Cylinder 4 is 150 PSI and cylinder 6 is 160 PSI. I am baffled at this point and waiting on the intake boot. I would like to clean or at least check the throttle body but I'm a bit apprehensive due to the drive by wire issue that could happen if the butterfly is moved. I have the re-learn instructions and I feel that if the battery is unhooked it should be okay, I think.

You should be okay, don't move the butterfly just clean around it, you can unbolt it and leave the wiring connected, please go over this guide to show you also, the compression seems okay so that is good.

Let me know what happens after you get the new air intake boot. Please go over this guide and get back to us.

Exactly how I ran the comp test aside from warm. In order to get to bank one cylinders the plenum has to be removed. Fingers crossed the boot shows up tomorrow and I will clean the throttle body gently tomorrow. Here's today's code printout. Fault means it is not working at all, correct? Happy Halloween!

So I finally got the new boot put on and well nothing absolutely nothing has changed. I tried spraying carb cleaner around vacuum lines and what places I could reach with no change in idle. I have noticed when driving at a slow speed when just barley using the weight of my foot to accelerate the throttle still misses but then seems to 'clean up' and all of a sudden goes for a little but as soon as it shifts it starts again and the engine light flashes until I let off and stop (idle). Almost like a carburetor would do if timing was not quite right would. CPS comes to mind, but wouldn't that be a code as well? And where even is that on this motor? Timing side or back of the block? Is there a way to test it with a multimeter?

Even though you cleaned the MAF sensor I would replace it. When the MAF is too dirty and you try to clean it sometimes it does not work.

If memory serves me right that may have been one of the original codes along with the p0300, 301. Is there a test for the wiring with actual acceptable range on this car?
