Crankwalk is more BS than saying it has BHG. Could be the afm. mine does that once and a while when its cold, at like 3k rpm and clutch into neutral and it just kinda dies... hasent done it lately, I had a checkengine light on a week or two ago and it was 31 the afm like i said.

I give up. Seriously. Have you even checked the codes yet? I tried to help, but cannot offer any more assistance until you decide to help yourself. Everyone is speculating, and that's right up there with throwing new parts at a car until it's fixed.

(as in, stupid)

I am sorry for the slowness but I really busy with school and work, so I do not get chances to work on my car. It is my only mode of transportation I can't take it apart, not knowing if I'll have enough time to get it together before work. The weekend is coming hopefully I can get a chance to look at it Saturaday or Sunday.

Mine does the same thing, and I KNOW it's because I go real rich when shifting. One of those sort of problems that don't really need to be fixed, so I live with it. I'm planning on doing the fuel system and getting a MAFT, so I'll tune it out then and get rid of the problem hopefully.

You're seriously trying to persuade me that you don't have ONE minute to check codes? Come on, man.

Here's all it takes:

1) pop hood
2) bend paperclip and insert into t1 and t(e)1
3) turn on ignition and count blinks.

Then simply report back to us, and we'll help you. Who said anything about taking stuff apart?
