I have mentioned the running like crap issue in the Las Vegas instrument cluster post. But here is the jist of it. Car runs like crap.
Low power, erratic idle, with some occasions of complete powerloss, backfiring through the manifold when trying to rev up. again, runs like crap.
I have managed to patch this problem by disconnecting the MAF sensor. This presumably places the car in some sort of backup mode. It performs acceptably doing so.
Any ideas?
Sparks are new. Coils are not new, but coil resistance was at the high end of acceptable margin (per bentley). no indication of fusible link break. A new MAF did not solve the problem. I don't suspect fuel pump failure since it works fine without the MAF.
