Sounds like a bad MAF to me. I had the same problem with one that was malfunctioning. They are a pain to keep running, but a simple swap of a MAF should tell if that is the problem.

try turning in the throttle blade screw. just for the heck of it. Maybe just not enough air. try a 1/2 turn only , to start.

Check your spark plugs. Same thing happened to my husbands car and had the same codes also. Car would not start at all. Changed the spark plugs and all was well again!

I know what you mean. When we put the new cam in his car we didn’t change out the plugs because they where pretty new and didn’t have every many miles on them. But I guess while the PCM was still “learning” the new cam and the new tune it started the car up really rich messing up the plugs and the car started running worse and worse until it would not even start. After he changed out the plugs the car fires right up and runs fine now.

This may not be what is wrong with your car, but thought it might be worth looking in to. Hope all is well with your car and nothing more serious going on, let us know what happens.

I am going to guess bad plugs as well.
MAF sensor was my first thought but you say that you have already ruled that one out.

Off topic but who cares. Yes I live in Ft. Myers. It has defentially grown since 1975 (not that I know first hand)
I like it here except it is REAL DAMN HOT right now.
I live about 7 miles from Cypress high.
My dad went to Ft. Myers and finished in 72 I believe. Last name is Zielinski.
Everyone knew everyone in this city back then do you reconize the last name?
Lee county just became the number 1 growing place in the country beating out Vegas.
You should come visit some time, and if you have any cute daughters/ relatives that are 20-30 bring them with you.
