Somone tell me whats wrong here
I looked at my engine bay because I wanted to see how the hole looks without my fender lining from another post, and I noticed that my engine is maybe forward or out of normal position. I had to tighten the drivers side motor mount not to long ago, but didnt notice this:
From what you can see, the engine looks like its in normal position, but the engine seems to have actually tilited forward, and now that sensor on the top of the intake manifold is being pushed against the strut bar. There is no gap between the bar and the sensor, and the bar is pushing the sensor down somewhat, but hasn't broken it.

Or another mount thats not tight.
If you look at the strut tower bar its mounted fine. If he were to flip it 180 degrees it would be hitting the intake mani directcly. See its curves upward right now. if he were to flip it it would curve downward...if that makes sense.

I agree, it's really hard to see in that first pic of his though.

Re: Somone tell me whats wrong here (EM1VtecSi)

huh? Are you misunderstanding something about the bar being on backwards?

Re: Somone tell me whats wrong here (Aphelion)
Yes, definitely the bar is on backwards. just loosen the four nuts, pull up bar, flip it 180° horizontally and drop it back on the bolts, tighten the bolts and you are all done. 5 minutes would eb my guess.

Re: Somone tell me whats wrong here (chartinael)
I did the same thing to mine once, and had the strut bar on backwards.. Ugh broke the top clip on the map sensor. Electrical tape fixed though and its never gave me and trouble with its connection since. Funny how we can make mistakes when not paying attention to detail. Ah well
