5.5 maf problem?? (i hope)

Hey guys,

Well as the road got a bit cleaner well, i decided to open up my car just a touch (well enough about 5000 rpms) in 2nd gear. All of a sudden my car just like choked, almost as if it just stopped getting air. It almost felt like wheel hop. Off the line when i started it up, the car didn't heat up real bad, it didn't even sound funny, though rpm did just jerk from 3000 to 5000 real bad and like choke when i try to give it more gas. I was wondering if it could be a dirty intake, but even when it's filthy it's not this bad. The car just stalled and i rolled to a light that turned red.

Also, now the car just feels very slow, it's lost alot of grunt. It feels like almost a slug. Can anyone tell me what's going on?

Certainly sounds like your MAF. Check with Dave B (his # is in the stickies) and he can probably get you one cheaper than anywhere else.

Could be the dreaded VIAS malfunction. There is a link for this problem/fix in the Sticky how to's thread. Good luck, and if you need more help, every one on this forum is great, so don't be afraid to ask.
