I've had 245s and 244s, never a 242. If the 242 has the same engine/transmission (I think it does) then your 242 will outlast your 760T. These cars are built like tanks. But it will never handle like your 760.
The flame trap sits below the intake manifold. The flame trap is inside a black silicone rubber tube-like thing that has a 45 degree bend in it. Sounds peculiar, right? Shine a worklight under the intake manifold behind the throttle body and look: the only thing resembling that description will be the flame trap.
The rubber flame trap body has an upper and a lower half. To change the flame trap, you or an assistant (got any kids?) reach behind the throttle body toward the engine block, grab the upper half of the rubber flame trap body, and pull up. You should be able to pull the upper half off and the flame trap will be inside. Clean it until oil vapors can easily flow through the little holes.
Then put everything back the way you found it. Hard to describe, perhaps hard to see, but not so hard to do.
Especially if you get the flame trap extension from IPD. This nifty gadget extends the rubber hose so you can relocate the flame trap someplace where it is more readily accessible. Great gadget!
