Replying to: euphonium (Feb 17, 2009 7:18 pm) Also, someone else told me that if the MAF is unplugged then the car might start but run on the rich side. Did anyone hear of this before? I'll try it later today, I have nothing to lose.

Replying to: aviatordave (Feb 18, 2009 5:43 am) I have a 1996 Marquis and have already posted my experience with that kind of problem a while ago. Before you open the MAF and try to clean it, unplug it and see if the car is running wild but also better. If it is doing that, itīs probably the MAF. I tried to clean it like many said on the internet, but that didnīt help, I had do get a new one!! Some people reported, that after thy cleaned it, 3 month or so later they had to buy a new MAF anyway.. Good Luck

Well it turned out not to be the MAF. I guess I had a couple spark plug wires that had very high resistance. I just got fed up with this problem and took it in to the local shop. It cost me $70 for them to tell me the problem, its worth it to me. I'll change all the plugs and wires tomorrow and see how that goes. -Dave |

All fixed. Runs great, like a new car again. All this over plug wires.....they even looked new under the hood before I changed them. They wanted to charge me $230 to replace the plugs/wires with labor. I got the parts at autozone for about 70 bucks and it took me 45 minutes. I'm ready to roll! Thanks all for your help and insight! -Dave |
