RE: need help
well the car ran great last night. i went to start it this morning and it would not idle. when your drive it it has no power i guess it is more of a light popping noise. if you dont pump the gas it wants to stall. on power either the motor sounds not as loud.

check the mass air make sure it is plugged in and make sure the intake boot is on it with no leaks between the mass air and the T/B on the intake. the mass air is the round aluminum thing on the end of the black hose that comes off the intake on the pass. side of the car. right behind the air filter.

RE: need help
ok the self test how do i perform that. And like i was saying it ran great last night then when started it would not idle. with the tps bad would that cause it to lose power. when you give it gas it wants to stall and when u let up it kinda of comes back. with a dirty iac would that cause it. the timing or plug wires or anything like that was touched i just parked and went to start it today and it all started.
