man i got a whopper for you guys lol

alrighty, i start it up 700 rpm and stalls i heard it might have been the maf
relay so, just snooping around i see what will happen if i pull out the power relay

start it up and it idles a bit rough but it doesnt stall- see once its warmed up enough to idle right with the maf connected ill hit the gas and the more i hit the gas the more the rpm decreases

thennn, if i hold it to the floor itll do a "jump" act

say punch it, 300rpm then bam itll go to 1500 * by that time i realiease peddle * because the intake makes scary popping noises

now i go to autozone buy a replacement relay...no change at all

course i bought this from what id call a eletrical " wiz" so who the hell knows he could have the wrong relays on there lol

help me out guys heh

unplug the MAF and see how it runs.

have done it before, it basicly idles a bit high and throttle response seems to be good so thats what threw me onto the maf problem ( hope its not the sensor like 300 for one sigh)

mine went bad, car wouldn't run for shit. I ran it unplugged till I had the $ for a new one.

well itll only do it if its cold

like, start it high, then itll stall

if it warm it idles fine but if i tap the throttle itll loose power and try to stall till it catches up, i think its my maf sigh ! nooooo lol like 220 bucks i think

could grab one from a junkyard and give iot a shot i spose

when it gets where it'll run, try tapping the MAF, see if it stumbles or stalls.
