Ok.. I dunno what the freak is wrong with my 2.3. It wont start at all. This has been happening on and off. At first I thought it was the spark plugs, or like it needed a tune up or something. But then I thought to take the air filter out. I took it out and put in a brand new one. Next day.. it wouldnt start at all again. So I ran the car without the air filter. It started right up, and ran like new. Ran like that for about a week. Now it wont start at all again. Can someone please tell me whats wrong with my car?

You are going to have to be CONSIDERABLY more specific.

ok.. it is a 93. Battery n cables are clean. Brand new starter, it will turn over but it wont crank. Could it be that my IAC meter or AFM isnt any good. Or would new spark plugs do the trick? It just wont crank. And it putts and stutters real bad. when it did run. I dunno what the problem is.
