Never personally seen a bad Applebee crank, and don't ever recall hearing anyone complaining about them.

If all the electrics check out, then you could have an air leak somewhere. Mind you, parts testing OK when static doesn't preclude them from failing when under load. As I say, maybe the operator was just speculating, given the low result. As I say, ultimately it's never going to go unless it can breathe. There's nothing wrong with OEM filters, but stock airboxes are too restrictive.

Kind of hard to offer any more than that remotely though.
