Angry Oh my GOD help me please

Ok, so my 95 GT is off. dont know why... neither does anyone else... it idles WAY low...like 450, and jumpy when cold. And when i wind it up above 2000, it cuts out until i let it get warm, and then cool it off with a 2 stage fan... then it runs good below 4500 rpm, at witch it cuts out to nothing, its like its rev limited... SMOG pump is DSCNected, but all the egr is still intact, with exception to the wiring harness to the EGR valve... i disconnected it... timing is good... but my harmonic is alittle warped, still w/ in tolerances... keep in mind that it runs OK after it warms up, and cools back down...

also, if anyone can help me with egr removal, it would be appreciated, i need the plugs, and if possible, the resistor, and what do you do about the loss of air to the valve cover?

Well just off the top of my head it sounds like you're getting unmetered air in somewhere. Do you have any mods done to the car?

Re: Oh my GOD help me please

Re: Oh my GOD help me please

Start by checking your maf and see if it need to be cleaned. You can take the black box off the maf and you will see to small wires that go down into the maf sensor housing. You can clean those with a q-tip and alcohol or electronics cleaner but be VERY careful because they are brittle wires. I would probably go ahead and unhook your battery to reset your computer also. It could also be a bad maf or unmetered air (any air that is getting in the motor AFTER the maf, could be between the maf and throttle body or a vacuum leak around the intake).

Re: Oh my GOD help me please

ALREADY CLEANED THE MAF... the wierd thing is that the MAf doesnt really change the affect on the car at idle... it still works, cuz above idle with no maf and then plugging it in, drops the RPM... i will check the vacuum... but there is a limited amount of outgoing vacuum lines, i will check, and i will reset the computer and see what happens... anything else?

Re: Oh my GOD help me please

Are you running the stock MAF still? You mentioned that it runs ok after it warms up, is this under 4500 or is it ok all the way up to 7k rpm?

I agree with Wall96, it sounds like you have unmetered air getting into the engine (air coming in somewhere after the MAF).

Re: Oh my GOD help me please

no as long as i keep it below 4500 it is OKAY when it warms up, and then cools back off... yeah its still the stock MAF... it is very weird... oh and by the way... is there anything that you would do to disconnect the OBD2 or make it not work, because mine does not, i bought the car used, and this is the first problem i have had... i cannot get my obd2 to connect to the module to get a reading... so i dont know if it is MAF related or not... it is NO GOOD above 4500 at all... ever since this started

Re: Oh my GOD help me please

You can't get the scanner to hook up to the car? That is very strange. Will it not fit the plug at all or will not turn on to scan when hooked up?
