Be sure to check your engine's air filter!

I found some acorn debris and other junk in the air filter housing and some 'modifications' to my engine's air filter element.....

Critters will get into the strangest places. I find sunflower husks in ours all the time.

It looks like your air filter was tasty!!

Years ago our VW Rabbit would not start.. Before calling a tow truck we took apart the air filter and cleaner housing.. It was packed with acorns..
Imagine how embarrassed we would have been if the car had been towed to the repair shop!

The little varmints packed in acorns in every hose they could get to.
