Help. Idle fluctuates,car misfires,but runs good??
HI,
It's been about two weeks that my Max is having the following problems.
Idle fluctuates. When I start it in the morning and sometimes when I put in gear, the car turns off (happened only 2 times). Also, the car is misfiring. When you go to the back of the car near the exhaust, you car hear small bangs and smells like the engine is not working properly. The sound is very low not like some old VW bugs where it scares the **** out of you on the street. I'm thinking maybe MAF is going bad??
Please note the car does not hesitate when driven and there doesn't seem to be a loss of power. I can still beat the **** out of others on the freeway
Things recently changed to resolve this issue but problem persists:
New NGK V power plugs
New cap and rotor
THANKS FOR ANY HELP

Actually I haven't done so lately. Could it be wires?? I got Bosch which I purchased I would say 2+ yrs ago. I guess that would be my next thing I need to get but I can't afford to spend $70+ for wires. Do you know of an alternative??
thanks
