same 95, sometimes it will only rev up to 2500 rpms...runs the same when the MAF is unplugged but when I tap on it the car shuts off...getting a bad connection or just gone bad?

 

If the MAF is disconnected I believe the car will not work and If you can't pass the 2500 rpm's the MAF Is bad. Check the connections and If you can wiggle the wires that are connected to the MAF and they are cutting the motor off and on then the wiring Is cracked,therfore the MAF is running on and off due to the damaged connections. The possibilty of having the wires and the MAF bad at the sametime can happen. Test it again and find out exactly whats the main problem.

 

hmmm, that does happen when I wiggle the wires around...even sometimes when I have the car running and slam the hood it dies.

 

If you have all of the stuff that I just listed here that means you have a bad MAF and the wires because they are flucuating the steady flow of the MAF and the cars Idle.

 

any chance this could be what is causing my car to start like $h1t when its hot?? I swear buying this car was like buying AIDS!

 

its the MaF homie i went thru 3 and if its not that check ALL of your coils MAKE SURE because i replaced my maf the last time when i really didnt have to it was one of my rear coils

 

If you can please explain all off your problems pacifically,If you have had your tune-ups done and your coil packs are ok and so on. I will lean towards the MAF also being the problem starting up when the car Is hot.

 

I had a MAF problem. You can read my thread and see if you can get any good info from it.
