Been a long time since i did that job... sounds like you dodged a bullet!! Good work for catching it in time and doing the job right (i.e. replacing everything!)


To answer your earlier question, if the cold weather CCV was working for you for so long (with no caked-up mayo) then buy another one of those. Even in Texas I would suggest the cold weather version.



Did you figure out where those connectors go yet? The three-pin one might be for the mass air meter, but I might be wrong. I can go look later if you haven't got them figured out.
