Re: OK guys need your help!! Car stalling / bucking on highway

Hey guys, thanks again for this post. I was skeptical but couhged up 10 bucks for a can of MAF cleaner the other day and cleaned mine this morning. It seems fine now, but I only drove it 5 or 10 miles. I guess if the problem comes back I'll change out the MAF since it seems to be the problem. p.s. t...

Re: OK guys need your help!! Car stalling / bucking on highway

Thanks for the reply. I realized just after I put in the message that your last reply was today so I should have realized it wasnt in yet. I too cleaned the MAF (just the electrical connections) so far. It kind of threw me how quickly it all happened after getting gas but it could be a coincidence s...

Re: OK guys need your help!! Car stalling / bucking on highway

Today I filled up from about a quarter tank of fuel (premium as always) and within about 20 miles or so later the car - on the highway - was hesitating and even stalling - the best way...

head swap?

I was wondering if I could gather some opinions on what to do. I found a 95 850 Turbo for sale here for a pretty good price because the head gasket is bad - mixing oil/coolant (I think I could get it for 5-700). I have an 850 non-turbo engine sitting in the garage out of a 96, so if the head is bad ...

cleaned the TPS connection (which I never unplugged) and all is right with the world. The flashing arrow even went away.

well, I was taking your word for it, and I've cleaned that thing a dozen times. But, when I google the codes I find TPS failures listed. But, I dont think this is the (only) idle problem. So, while I was cleaning the connections that I had undone when I changed the starter I noticed that the silver ...
