heres the deal. got an 0102 code, and a 0201 code. looked it up in the stickies and still have a few questions. my car started acting up the other night when i was sitting at a light. i didnt even notice it happen but the engine died and when i went to go, it didnt move. anyways just put it in park and started it up, but after taking off i noticed that it was seeming to jerk like it was losing spark. it did this randomly a few other times in the past few days and yesterday i actually got a cel on and i pulled the codes. these refer to my mass air meter and coils harness. the only thing that makes any sense is that the other day i pulled each coil harness off, one at a time because i thought i may have a dead coil. it didnt seem as if i did so i just put everything back together. then i decided to clean the engine bay a bit and scrubbed with a wire brush and some water. hopefully the water didnt mess anything up but what else should i check or how to check the problem, because the car is starting to die out alot at lights and i need to fix this. thanks in advance.

What ^^^^ said.
Don't price one new... you'll

 

so you think i will need a new one or could i check this one out to see if it is any good. i appreciate the help guys

 

www.car-part.com.. got mine for 55$ shipped, been in since 9/04 ...

 

There are also a few for sale in the 4th Gen Classifieds section.

tag.... Nmex, you're it....

 

well i just went out and messed with it a bit, fooled with the maf harness and the car would die every once in a while. anyway put it all back together and checked for codes and only got an 0505, which says there is no problem. i am guessing that it might take a little drive before the computer recognizes the problem again so i will just have to wait and see. it does seem to be ideling a bit low though?

 

It's going to die and leave you. ..I have almost as much experience witrh a dead maf as I do with a 0407 code... so trust me, get it fixed soon...

If it does leave you ... unplug the maf and head home, it wont go past 2.xrpm, but it wont die as it limps home...
The reason all seems fine now, is because you probably re-set the ECU ... .

 

so what do you think, a new sensor only or could it be the harness. i might just take it somewhere to save the time and any wasted $.

 

I got the new sensor... don't take it somewhere you'll get ..
Buy a new sensor form the website provided, and save some money, was my first post not clear enough?

 

That's a cool site. Thanks for the link.
