Are you getting any codes? Alex

Guy at auto parts store said no but when i unplug the MAF the car dies.

When you disconnect ANY sensor - you have automatically induced a trouble code - therefore reading the trouble codes will be moot .. A professional *scan test* is highly recommended.. Good luck with it!

If you maf was bad before you may need to reset adaptations. This requires a good scanner but try disconnecting the battery for an hour. Alex

Ok i will try that tomorrow. Thank you.

It would be in your best interest to have a professional do a FULL scan test so the actual problem can be identified.. Guessing at it and replacing unessassery parts can be even more expensive.

I'm guessing so too. Just switched sensor again and checked all hoses no cracks or holes.
