i did, and the AFM is plugged in, and i checked the vaccum hoses, and the vaccum hoses seem to be in the right places as well. one of the tech's at my work right now is saying that i may need a new AFM...

yes it will idle on it's own. i don't know where else i can have a boost leak, new accordian hose, checked my intercooler piping (no cracks)... i forgot what slots i put the paper clip in, to count the code. anyone have the link? i didn't find it on my search. Thanks for the help you guys! =) also as far as the link goes could you send me the thread where it has the link to site with all the codes and what not. once again thank you for your time.

you know what kinda sucks now, for some reason it won't even start..like it starts but then dies right after. like tah dah - boom, off.....pushing on the gas while doing it doesn't help either... that seems AFM related....

yeah there is, my cousin is going to bring her's over today. and my other friend just had the same problem with his 91, and it turned out it was his AFM, that's why i'm sorta jumping to conclusions, but i'll find out today if it starts with my cousins.

That last code I got was an 11. I figured this was due to very poor idling problem I was having. It would practically stall and then come back to life, and everytime this occured the check engine light would come on for a moment. Should I reset the codes and see if any new ones come up?
