Message	so you can hear it better. basically you take off the pop (or stock air box) and use your home made checker or one you bought and hook it up to an air compressor. most of the time this isnt doable prior to purchase, but IF the seller will let you and you are willing to take the time...i highly suggest it. as crazygreek said...codes as well. just remember, its atleast a 10 year old used car...there will be problems and you can bet on that one.
