Hey,

I was wanting to see if someone can help me out. My car has been running really rough when i start it. The RPM's keep jumping up and down between 500 and 1500 rpm's, and when i press the gas it dies.

I was suggested to get a new Mass Flow Air sensor, which I did and the problem still persist.

Im kinda stuck on what I should try next...any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

We has a whole bunch of problems with ours. Did you check the prom, or the fuel injectors?

I haven't checked the fuel injectors yet, am I just making sure that they are tight and not damaged, or is there something specific to look for. Also I dont know what you mean about "check the prom"

Is the SES light on? If so, be sure to scan for codes, which is a very easy process. If you already checked for vacuum leaks, you might want to clean out the Idle Air Control valve, cuz just like a sticky choke found on a carburetor, the IAC's tend to get just as sticky in the throttle body. When you pull it off, go over it lightly with some carb cleaner, and a tooth brush, lightly. Don't push in, or bend, the pintle....

You said you replaced the Mass Air Flow sensor, with no positive results. However, have you replaced, and/or checked, it's corresponding connections; the Power and Burn Off relays? You might want to double check to see if they're connected firmly, with no loose wire terminals. In fact, just replace them altogether, they're only $20.00 each, give or take....

Ok, I re-did the spark plus and wires, new destributer cap, etc. I also found a vacuum leak, after doing all of that. The car started up great and was running great. I drove about 10 miles out and was on my way back when the car started to die everytime i took it out of gear mainly and sometimes it was between taking my foot off the gas and taking it out of gear. And then right before I got to the garage, it started idling fine again, any suggestions with whats going on with that???
