    98 Disco with sunroofs. I'm getting ready to pull the headliner and can't find my rave CD. Anything I need to know before I start? Hidden screws? Or if I just start, will the process just present itself? Any and all tips are much appreciated.

    P1176 - I searched already

    I agree he is most likely right. I knew it was probably the MAF when I posted. Just thought there might be a few cheaper alternatives to try first.
