Help with why my engine just shuts off wile driving
So here's the story, my engine will just shut off wile I am driving. I could be doing 65 or 80 on the highway or just going threw town at 25 or 30. What happens is it cuts out and slows down as if the engine is turned off and then it starts up again like nothing ever happened. If I push the clutch in the engine will shut off as if I turned the key off then let the clutch out and it starts up again like pop starting the car. However it does not always do this sometimes it won’t start back up for a few minuets of me being pissed off. I am looking at the Maf as it acts like its unplugged when it does try to idle. I am really up against a wall here I do not yet know enough about these cars to diagnose this problem. If you have any help please let me know.

You seem to be on the right path. Definitely sounds like a bad MAF

Re: Help with why my engine just shuts off wile driving
Run a code check. Are you getting a Check engine light at all?
I agree with nate....Faulty MAF |
Re: Help with why my engine just shuts off wile driving
I agree, sounds like what my car did before I replced the MAF, but with mine it happened at slower speeds when I was braking, for instance coming off an exit ramp or slowing down for a stop sign.

Do the Diagnostic tests and run the codes for problems.

If you want to test a good MAF, I'm right up here near Harrisburg. I have a spare or two.

Re: Help with why my engine just shuts off wile driving
My MAF was bad before throwing the code. When driving it would get jerky and I'd lose power. If i pushed in the clutch the car would immediately die but when i let the clutch out the car would come back to life.
