My 99L died today driving, and when I try to start it it will start up but die right away, even when I try to give it gas. However if I unplug the MAF sensor It still wants to die, as it should without the sensor, but I can at least keep the engine going by revving it. Does this mean I have a bad MAF sensor?

I should also mention the checkengine light has been on awhile and lately I have noticed that if it sits at idle, it begins to flutter a little and sound like it wants to quit, until I give it gas, and then it is fine.

Any suggestions? Thanks !

 

Whats the code?

 

the light's been on for a reason

 

and I'm trying to figure out why the OP was messing with the MAF prior to reading the codes

 

Step 1. Find the code
Step 2. Post the code for instructions on a possible fix.
