Ok. So I cleaned the MAF yesterday with electronics cleaner and it made the problem twice as bad. So it stands to reason my MAF just pooped. now it completely stalls even while moving and has become a huge pain in my ass I now have a new redline of 5k. It's like it's hitting the rev limiter, it just keeps bouncing off of 5K.

Problem solved. I got a MAF today, and I now have power I never knew the car had. It runs flawless now and requires so little throttle to move now. It really feels like it has a lot more torque now. I've suspected my MAF of being on it's way out since I bought the car, so I wasn't really surprised. But anyway, thanks for all of your guys help. Jason

Jason,
Glad to hear you got the problem sorted out, Did you buy a new maf, or get a used one (such as that offered up by Tom?) If it was new what are they running these days? Also on an unrelated note, did you pick up snow shoes yet?? (Im looking at ordering some before Mon, either from Mavis or Vulcan)

Are you still using the K&N air filter?

One thing about k&n style (oiled) filters is that most problems arise when people use too much oil on the filter when re-oiling them and/or don't let them sit long enough afterwords prior to reinstalling them and running the engine. The oil needs to soak in to the filter material so it doesn't get sucked into the system and screw up maf's (and other items)

I'm pretty sure my car's heading into problems like this. It was really bad when I had an exhaust leak, now it's just slightly noticeable. It used to stall all the time but now it hasn't done it once.. just hesitates. I think I may look for a maf sensor now before it gets worse again.
