The car will try to start, but stall. Then after a while, it won't even turn over. You either check your ECU, or play trial and error.

Call your local junk yards, i got mine for $60, and that was only becuase i didn't feel like waiting.

the whole "removing the mesh" thing is one of those "mods" that is simply a rumor. there is a detailed write up on it, and i can't find the damn link. People believe that if you take out the mesh, the air flows better, but someone did it, and noticed no change on the dyno.
