2000 Trans Am no acceleration
I have a 2000 trans am and when i go to take off it isnt wanting to go. like i can put my foot all the way down on the accelerator and i just barely go and my rpms dont even rev. sometimes after awhile it will start going but once it seems like it changes gears it bogs down again and after a second or 2 it will start to go again. it was really bad tonight. i started to go and it didnt want to go and it ended up dying on me. then i started it and it kept not wanting to really go basically little to no acceleration. after i just kept sputtering for a few miles it finally kicked in and i was able to go and get on the highway, then after a mile or so it started messing up again and i had no more acceleration and had to sputter my butt home the rest of the way. any help would be nice. i have recently changed the fuel filter, plugs and plug wires.

ok i unplugged the MAF sensor and its running fine now. so what does that mean exactly? is it the sensor or is it dirty. ive looked at it before i could still see thru it so i dont know if its dirty or not really. also how long can i leave it unplugged if its the sensor itself?
