My vehicle has 18k original miles, and its been kept in stellar working order. So, I can't imagine that I have fouled plugs, a bad DME or anything like that . It's possible that I may have a bad wire or connection somewhere (although nothing stands out during a visual inspection), but I would find it hard to believe that its anything major . I just wish that I could pinpoint whether or not its precisely the MAF sensor before I shell out $200-300 for a replacement . Again, when I removed it yesterday for inspection, it was as clean as a whistle ?????

Johnny I just ordered a MAF and a EVO air intake from vertex auto. I will let you know when I put it in and if it fixes the problem. They have the best prices I have found on MAF's and EVO intakes believe it or not. But that is just what I have found.

Will keep you posted.

Cheers

Please do . In the meantime, I'll continue to have nightmares about a cheap sensor that I bought on Ebay chasing me through the desert along side a naked indian chief .
