Something Wrong!!!!

Just changed new battery and spark plugs 2 days ago. I was giving my 2K Max a test drive. While I stopped at a red light, I felt my whole car was shaking like crazy. I drove slowly back home and found out that i can't go over 3000 RPM.

No engine light or other trouble lights had came on, just wondering what possible problems could happen to my Max, alternator, engine, MAF, anything.......Please help and tthanx.....

Sure sounds like a MAF problem. Try unplugging it and seeing if it runs any better. If so, you probably need to replace the sensor.

Thanx guys
Same EXACT problem I had 3 weeks ago. I was stopped at a light too.
A used MAF cost me about $110. I installed it myself. Took about 30 minutes.
Really easy.
