Default Odd Limp Mode Part II

I was not able to tear apart the trans this weekend to get to the F125 but started backing into my driveway to see if that would help it from going into Limp mode. It has worked fine every time. Very bizarre.

Any thoughts? My driveway is on an incline. When i part it head first in my driveway, then reverse out overnight, upon putting it into Drive, about 30 feet later it goes into Limp mode. I shift it into nuetral, shut off then turn on the car while coasting and it works perfect for the rest of the day.

Now parking it tail first in my driveway it works fine. Well, it still has the hunting issue but I'll start by cleaning the MAF and see if that helps.

How do you clean the MAF?

Default You can get a MAF cleaning spray at

your local auto parts store. You also need a T20 torx security bit to remove the two screws holding the sensor into place. You then carefully remove the sensor and give a few quick squirts on the two very thin wires on each side. Be careful not to get the liquid into the electronics. The MAF cleaner is very fast drying, like rubbing alcohol. Once the sensor is completely dry, install into housing.

The stuff I have is in a gray spray can made by CRC. I think it's like $8.
