I would unplug the MAF sensor and see if it runs any better. If it does, look into getting a new MAF, or a used one from Ed Morad.
If it doesnt run better.. then I have more questions for you.
Does it stall out while driving down the road? or just at idle?
Have you checked your fuel pressure? Fuel pressure regulator?

hello. yes, it stalls while you are driving it down the road, and no, i havent checked fuel pressure yet. its on my list of things to do. thanks for replying

I would suggest cleaning the MAF and cleaning the Idle Air control unit and makig sure the passage is not clogged up with carbon build up in the throttle body.

last night the car stalled several times. it would start right back up again and sometimes the rpm would fluctuate wildly between 700 to maybe 2000 rpm. after this it went back to idling normally. it does seem to have a very slight miss at idle. ideas? thanks in advance, jim

Do you have any codes??
03-03-2009
hello. i am going out to scan it right now
03-03-2009
hello again. it had 2 codes. one was a cylinder 3 misfire which i've fixed. the other was a mass air flow low input, which i assume was set when i unplugged the mass airflow sensor. its still acting up too. thanks again, jim

Do you still have the screen that is suppose to go infront of the MAF? Because without that there it will stall out.
Reset the codes and see if they come back. If the MAF one does you may need a new MAF sensor.

the screen is still there

if not the maf check for vacuum leaks.
03-03-2009
if it was a vacuum leak, wouldnt it act up all the time? this is an intermittent problem. sometimes when the car is accelerating, the car will sputter and wont take any more throttle. sometimes when you are decellerating it stalls. sometimes when its idling in gear the rpm will fluctuate from about 700-1500 rpm, and it doesnt set a code. help please!

hello again . just started the car and it set a trouble code, p0102, mass or volume air flow circuit low input.
does this mean i am looking at buying a new mass airflow sensor?where should i get it?thanks, jim
03-04-2009
Looks like it. Buy it from the cheapest place you can find that has the longest warranty you can find.
On the internet try rockauto.com. I just posted a 5% off cupon in the parts/shops/community hero's section.

hello again. replaced maf sensor with used one today from ed morad(thanks Ed) and car is working as it should. thanks to all who replied, jim
03-11-2009
Glad you got it fixed!

hello, i hope you are still into helping people on here? if so i would love to talk to you about an issue i am having with my 2000 grand prix gtp
03-06-2012
sure, but it would be wise to make a new thread for us to read through instead of this one from 2009.
