Rough/No Idle
I have been working on my HCV the past couple days and removing the air box a few times. The last time i reinstalled my car started idling low around 400 rpm. I removed the air box and tried to start it but it would not start at all. Before I could run it with the airbox off to check the HCV if it was leaking. I checked vacuum hoses all are connected. Could I have damaged the MAF by reinstalling the airbox a number of times. I also got a messege that stated antilock issue, which is a bit confusing. I am pretty certain I induced this issue installing and reinstalling the airbox. Any insight would be appreciated.

The antilock issue seems coincidental - nothing related is located there. Does it still run OK with some throttle? is this just an idle issue. Check the MAF connector, if the screens are still on the MAF its unlikely you have damaged it.
Was the TPS disturbed - this is the most likely cause of idle issues in that location - outside vacuum issues. Check for correct idle switch operation.

Runs OK ...just wont idle well.....but did seem a bit sluggish when driving...could be me I'm hyper-sensitive sometimes. Where is the TPS? I checked connector it seemed fine. I will dive into issue later this afternoon. Thanks for the info.

Idle issue back this morning. Can someone post a picture of where to spray WD40 into the ICV. I have read multiple threads and feel that taking air box on and off caused the issue but can't be 100% certain. I did move MAF when repositioning the airbox.
