When my baby gets warmed, and driving, I have a problem of going. When i normal goes I get a delay on the take off, and sometimes dies and takes a LONG time for it to start up. and when I punch the throttle there is a big noticable delay and would die at some points. Any clue? I have a new IAC, new TPS (.97), cold air intake, new plugs, new cap rotor and set my timing at 15* but doesn't ping. Could it be my MAF going/gone bad?

sounds like the MAF is bad, Check the out put voltage with 12V applied.

my book says something under 1volt. my MAF read zero when it failed. Also if you check for the wiring diagram on the web you can find what wires to test the resitance. My MAF was open, infinite resistance.
