Default I finally found the cause of my problems...

the dreaded MAF sensor! Yeah I know... I'm such a newbie until it finally happens to me :-]

With the symptoms, I was thinking plugs or coilpacks... I did upgrade the plugs to IK22s in the process. I just didn't think of doing the obvious... unplugging the MAF to see if it runs better. Thanks for the earlier post Steve!

I do have another sensor attached to an OEM MAF, but I didn't have anything tonight to take out the screws... the torx head w/ the hole.

It feels like a new car again... can it hurt much to keep it unplugged for a day or two till I change it?

Default Small channellocks work for the screws

Running with it unplugged for a few days won't hurt anything. The car will just run rich.
