So here is the story. I had a crack in one of my heater hoses and decided i could do the repair myself. I replaced both hoses as one was cracked and the other was in pretty bad shape. Anyways, now that i have that all fixed, i started my car and it is running horribly. If i give it gas is starts to die and then i have to pump the gas to get it to rev. I did accidently drive the car without my mass air sensor plugged in, but it ran fine, now i plugged it back in and it runs like crap. I took it out and it runs like crap too so i dont know what it could be. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
my suggestion to you sir would be to take off your maf and gently clean it with a que tip and some water, be VERY careful as to not brake or bend the wires though.
