idle drops, fuses blow, car stalls, i was just chillin'
TODAY
i was driving along, i hit a bump...my stereo buzzes loudly for a second then fades away. a minute later i am waiting at a light and i inch forward...as i slowly release the brake my car pulses forward a little. THEN the stereo buzzes loudly (the buzz where pitch increases as i accelerate), the RPMs drop to 6k, the car struggles to stay running (the RPMs bounce up and down between 6k and 8k), and it shakes almost in a pattern. as i pass the intersection the "ELEC PARTS" FUSE** blows. at the next intersection i was just CHILLIN', waiting for the light, then my car stalled.
ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO:
these problems started happening except the stalling part. then i had to buy a new battery...and they went away. so i figured they were fixed.
NOW:
they are back, and my car does not want to start (but will), and stalls when i idle. i have no idea what's happening...
A FRIEND:
suggested that my chip is bad and i need to replace the mass airflow sensor.
Could anyone be of any help before i am forced to get "raped" in labor charges by the local shop?
**this fuse affects: power windows(except driverside), stereo, clock, power locks, remote (all functions), visor mirror lights...maybe more, but i have seen only these.

I had similar problems -- check your throttle body...clean it.
then check your PCV...change it.
then check your throttle wire...tighten if TOO loose (search the org for this one).
THEN, check you MAFS or your Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)...
that's my $0.02 -- my car is MUCH BETTER now!
