my camera is an old hewlet packard 2.1Megapixel, but its set to max resolution. should the image quality not be much better. i've tried about 20 photos all the same. is it the low light conditions?

Clean the lens, Take it out of the "flower" mode, hold it steady.

Don't worry, I think I see the split right next to the Zip tie.

yeah. do you think its big enough to affect the system. even if its not big enough to cause stalls etc, could it affect performance/tuning, or in the long term, damage parts? anyways enough of my ramblings, i'll try to get a replacement at my LHS or get them to order one if needs be. im going to my LHS this week or next week so ill bring my engine and exhaust.

ps what is flower mode. ive looked through my camera setup and cant find it anywhere
