    Default IT'S THE MAF!! IT'S THE MAF!! ScottyWM came by with his '93 Touring...

    ...and I finished tightening up the last hose clamp, which of course involved removing the throttle body...(sorry Scott!). We carefully removed the MAF from his car and installed on mine, then fired it up. From cold start, it had been taking about 2 minutes before symptoms showed up. We must have let the car run for 5 minutes at least before shutting down. No issues. Shut it off, restarted, purred like a kitten. Okay, we thought. Shut it down, unplug his MAF, reinstall my MAF. Fired up, and it immediately shut off. Repeated this a couple of times, then it would do the bouncy idle then shut off. Hmmm, I think we have a winner.

    Gonna cancel my appt. with the indy...

    THANKS ALL!! Will advise when my new "used" MAF arrives on how she runs. Ought to be real good, with new FPR, O2 sensor, and every vacuum hose known to man snug and secure!

    Whew...

    Yeah!!! Good going guys! Way to team up on that thing. Just consider the things you did to it before the MAF, preventive maintenance....=)

    Scott, it's people like you that make the board work. Congratulations goes to Bill, and we tip our hats to you. Scott, a true gentleman.

    Now it's time for that cold one, huh boys?

    Done deal. Scott and Lainey enjoyed a cold CPA while I was buttoning everything back up. BTW, Scott's got a VERY nice iT. His description of his interior job (done by him) doesn't do it justice. It looks FANTASTIC. Thanks again for your trust, Scott!

    Jr, Ryan, Jeff, Winfred, Bill R., bimmerdood, Steven, Bret and others whom I owe one (can't recall everyone who advised)...you know who to call when you're in my neck of the woods.

New FPR, new O2 sensor; checked and verified correct operation of ECT, IAT, TPS, CPS; all injectors firing (and clean!), all coils firing. I'm nearing wits' end...

    I'm in the phone book, under Bass William, or shoot me an email. It's in my profile. I'm at work this morning (Saturday) until noon, then free from noon -4, and most of the day tomorrow (Sunday).

    Thanks guys!
