make sure your o2 sensor is working properly same with the maf sensor. and obviously see what codes you get.


also the tech section is better for something like this.

that didnt help at all......


What didn't help...me posting how to pull engine ECU codes?
How can you possibly expect help if you do not post the specific code?

Dude - get a grip. Playing guessing games is not going to help anyone, mostly you.

Did you even look at the link I posted? If you can't do something as simple as pulling ECU codes, you really need to take the car to someone that knows what they are doing.
I'll tell you this, it is probably not the O2 sensor...guessing will get you nowhere fast on this motor.

Did you even read the link that jdub posted?

Don't guess, perform tests and narrow your problem down.

Edit: jdub beat me to it :)
