This should help. It's located right on top of your intake box.

Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Cleaning

You could also simply unplug the MAF sensor and try to start the car, if it starts and idles ok, it's almost certan that the MAF is the cause. Keep in mind it will be in limp home mode with the sensor unplugged which will flash your check engine light.

Hey man didn't know you were having so many problems with the new ride, you know you can ask for help whenever. I've got a tactrix cable if you wanna log it, and I can look and tell you what the previous owner(s) touched and what they haven't.

Pitcherman · 02-06-2010, 12:40 PM

Oh and I have my old stock lamco boost gauge that we could plug in and see what's going on.
