Default Car starts and stalls immediately.. has plenty of gas going to check codes now....

Was running it pretty hard on 104 and XR and was taking a hard corner hit the gas to get the wheels loose a little and the car bucked like I hit the rev limiter but i'm pretty sure I didn't. No leaking liquids and everything looks fine. Now it won't start.

Default Stalls immediately: You've lost a hose. Unplug your MAF and it should run.

If it won't crank over AT ALL you have more serious issues.

Default you were right however I didn't get to read this first.. it was a low MAF signal so I checked the..

the connections and it started. So I tried to make it home like that not remebering I could just run on speed density without the possibility of stalling. Well I made it half way home and cussed alot after it stalled again before I remembered to just unplug it. Think I could clean the MAF or should I just run w/o it until I get a new sensor?

Default Check all your pressurized hoses first, especially the ones on the intercoolers.

I don't think your MAF is bad at this point.

Default why do you think it's a hose? wouldn't it run pretty bad even w/o the MAF..lots of studdering and...

smoking if it were a intercooler hose. I'll go check anyways but I have never had a hose problem and they are all very tight last I checked. What would be a definite bad MAF?

Do you have boost? If not it's a hose.

Default Mike...

I have been wanting to have the motor tuned/tweeked with lemmi to maximize the performance of the current Stage II+ mods, but my knowledge of thiis is far too insufficient.

If I were to take a ride out to you, could you tweek it?

Or if I were to take some logs could you tell me what to improve??

It rusn very strong, but I'd like to have a set of knowledgable hands have at it...

Default yeah, you run a little rich..but when my maf went south the car ran better with it unplugged

with it plugged in I was getting fuel too lean codes.. and I'd rather run too rich than too lean.
