Re: My car is mad at me! Random stalling, rough idle

I have a spare MAF now, so today I will try the resoldering how-to and hopefully find something.

Would one or more dying/carbon tracked coils cause this issue? Clogged cat cause this? The car builds power through the entire rev range so this may not be associated. Or a bad O2 sensor? Man, there are soooo many things to check.

I plan to check and clean crank sensors and cam sensor today as well. The cam sensor is coated in oil and grime from the oil-fill neck gasket being bad. Will also pull and clean the TPS.

No change=back to dealer.

Thanks again for all the helpful suggestions.
