If that by chance isn't the prob , check the fuel relay (you can swap relay's - there the same ) also check the fuel relay MAXI fuse.

Everythings under the hood in the PDB. If you neeb to know there local , just ask..

Give her some gas while tapping on your IAC - it might be stuck..

This is freaking your air metering tables out - so reboot after changing anything up..Pull the maxi #24 orange 30amp, PCM fuse. Thers also a little 5amp PCM fuse under the dash - center row second from the bottom.

just reset it. it started up fine, hesitated a little after i put it in gear. then it took of like it should. first stop sign she starts sputtering. it mimmicks just like a clogged filter. would a bad relay cause problems like this??? i did get a CEL this time though. i dont know if i can make it to autozone for them to read. im thinking possible TPS SENSER??

It will usually shift funny with a bad TPS, but run good - I'm thinking IAC..

If you still have a cell light on - Auto zone will rent you there reader - if you can't get the truck there , they will also come to you if your in there area..

Double check - make sure everythings plugged in - clean the MAF , maybe it was contaminated , reboot again - Pull both cables and let it sit for 15 minutes .

ALWAYS reconnect the positive cable first when you do that..

You Know - It sounds like it's missing now - but it shouldn't be . However , it's a posibility..

A reader would help allot .

hey jbrew. you will love my stupidity. i got the scanner. and it came back mass air senser low input.ok now i have a starting point. i go to remove the air filter etc...i look down and see a plug not connected. i follow it and sure enough it was the dam mass air senser. i must have unplugged and forget lol. its the 3, prong pluf under the filter. you dont see it so..... dam that would have been a 150-200$ mistake. feel free to break my *****. i deserve it on this one.
