I had the same problem you had with no codes. It turned out to be my MAF sensor bought a used one and now I don't have any problems.

5. Turn car off and reconnect TPS

did it cut off during starts? mine did it tonight. i was at a light and when it turned green i gave it gas and it cut off. so i started it back up and gave it gas and the rpms dropped to about 400 then i floored it and they didnt move. why would the MAF be going bad this much and not throw a code?

so i'm on the way to atlanta to get some parts for my car. i fill up before i leave and right outside of atlanta i look at my gas needle and i'm down to a half tank (trip at 101) WTF?!?!?!? and almost the whole trip there my car was smoking (black) and loosing power. gonna try another MAF and see if that changes anything. i also unplugged the MAF while the car was running and it didn't cut off; would that mean that its a good or bad MAF?

Mine was doing all of that including the bad gas mileage and it never threw a code. I got used one here on the Org for $40. It was definitely worth it.

yeah at this point anything is worth it. i used maf cleaner a while back and it ran great and i didnt know that was the problem, then this happens out of nowhere. i havent looked on here for any but have had no luck on c-list
