I believe its the ignition module located on the firewall behind the center of the engine under the engine cover. We tried warming it with a light bulb and the problem happened right from the statr vs running it a while...The guy at the shop said through his time he rarely has seen a MAF go bad... he was quick to state that dealerships like to replace thoses because its a high dollar part. The guy whos helping me has been great.. but we are both confused on this one. Just would hate to buy the ignition module and find that it was still good. My previous experience with modules has been that when they die.. ther are dead.. and thats it.. Never had one possibly do what the SVX has been doing...I thought it was the tranny at first and panic, but the engine was cutting in and out...
So, you're talking about the "igniter" module? Not the ECU? Correct? Yes. Very good possibility. If that is the problem, you're still talking about around the same money as an MAF Sensor. Part # 22438AA050
