So the Gold Max is .."Golden", lol.
Had issues with the black one today.
Starting running like crap, Couldt get it past 2500 rpm.
Sounded like it was missing like crazy, Pulled the
codes and only the MAF code came up..Can the
issues I had result from a bad MAF ?

 

Yes.

 

yup! thats maf

 

Just to clear it up, yes.

 

Alright Thanks guys.. =]
Guess I'll head out to the yard in
the morning and buy a few MAF's.

 

Yes, but when mine did something similar, I popped the hood to discover the air intake had disconected OMG. And I was stuck blocking Jack in the Box with no wrench, but I called someone and I put it back on lol. Just make sure the whole air thing is on ( Tb and near) because itll start, and then ECU will kill it because sensors.

 

sounds like MAF to me. Yur maxies jus wanna mess wit u huh man lol

 

2500=MAF

 

you have 2 maximas.. just swap and see if the problem follows..

 

Hes right !

 

2500= MAF...Huh ?

Anyways I switched MAF's from one to the other... that was the prob,
Crazy how such little electronical devices can make the car run like &*%#.
Another case closed, Thanks org members. =]

 

So that lasted about a day, max went from crappy idle and dying to now it will start up [if I floor the gas pedal] ..Run for maybe a minute or so and die, So outside the Fuel pump went poo poo..Any ideas ?

 

Yeah that actually does sound like the fuel pump, same thing happened to me when I pulled the fuel pump fuse to change the fuel filter.

Take off the rear seat (it just snaps in) and listen when you turn the key, if you hear NOTHING then thats it thats your problem.

 

I'll have to check that out in the AM.

 

I took the rear seats out and had my dad listen in and the fuelpump is working.So I took off the air box assy and cleaned out the tb, air idle valve and egr and it runs now......In Park, But dies almost immediately after putting it into any gear.Reverse is a little better..But it'll still die after about a minute a so...Ideas? Maybe a coolant sensor ?

 

transmission solenoid????...idk man, this one is a toughie

 

Does it die as soon as you hit the gas ? or as soon as you shift it untill any drive gear ?
Will it restart immidiatly

If you leave it in park will it run and run for a long time ?
Are you getting any codes ??

 

Not even getting a chance to hit the gas, Goes like this.

start car.
runs fine in park.
drop the shift **** into D.
apply brake.
sit there for about 20 seconds.
dies.

No codes.

*It'll run in park for as long as i leave it there.
*Yes It starts right back up.

 

sounds like its a sensor on the the trans, this one is automatic right ?
Is the odoff light blinking ?

 

Yea..This one is an automatic.
I cant remember if the OD is blinking or not...What would that mean ?

 

Two weeks later and I finally found my issue, Ended up being a plugged #6 cylinder fuel injector.

 

That's weird. The cars usually stay running with one bad injector and throws a code for misfire on cyl whatever.

 

The max, in general, is BAD when it comes to throwin codes. Only throws a code when it wants to lol.

yota,

Plugged injector ehhhhh. Ya kno, a couple shots of chevron techron would have cleared that right up hehehe (advertisement plug lol!!!). Glad she running man, see sig
