Hi,
I just purchased this 2001 with 4700 miles on it and decided to change fluids and filters.
Here's what I found when I took the top off the air filter.
Any suggestion on what this idiot was trying to achieve??

It is some sort of shredded cotton material (about 3 good handfulls) that he must have either stuffed through the aircleaner inlet or put in the airbox. With so few miles on it, I doubt the top has been off the aircleaner so more likely he fed it in by the handfulls through the intake tubes.
MAYBE, just maybe it has been in there from new?? Yikes!
On the throttle-body side of the filter all is squeaky clean.
FTW
