Default Check Engine Light Fixed

Back in May my car's check engine light came on while we were at the Corvette Classic. During computer scan codes PO172 and P0175 meaning car running lean showed on the scanner. The Tech did several things with no results. With extensive diagnoses found interior material in air duct seperated from housing causing the air restriction which caused my car to run lean. Might want to keep an eye on your's if you are having any issues of this type.

Also they fixed my popping top. Not sure what they did but glad that is gone as well. I think they did something to the rollers. So far so Good!

Default Anyone know what this is used for?

<<interior material in air duct>>
Anyone know what the purpose of this material inside of the air duct is for? It states on the edge of the material to not remove.

TIA

A wild guess would be…
Intake noise abatement

I had similar issues (7 CEL's in first 1500 miles) and BG had me fix it by taping the seam between the front fascia and the air dam with some metal tape. That stopped the problem and after 5000 more miles, no return as of yet. Also, switching fuels had same affect - go figure!
glad they got you fixed up!
