Hey guys! New to the forum and wanted to post this up.
Turn key to on, hear fuel pump prime and stop. Start car, starts right up.
Anything more than just a little off throttle and it just falls flat on its face. Some pop and backfire. But if I am reallly gentle with it, it drives and goes thru the RPMs without a problem.
Challenge: When I unplug the MAF the falling flat on its face thing completely disappears. You can hit the throttle and it responds and revs great! I think this rules out a mechanical issue. The problem is that with the MAF unplugged it won't idle or have good manners except for full throttle.
I have just sent/received the ECU back from theefi guy with new capacitors and its doing the same thing. Replaced the MAF, same. New plugs, wires and coil, same issue. I can't help but think this is a bad ECU? Ideas, suggestions are welcome. I'd even throw another ECU at it if I knew where to get a plug and play! Are there any direct plug in replacements? I suppose they are all $600......
