Car starts and stalls immediately.. has plenty of gas going to check codes now....

M3KILR · 08-27-2005, 06:15 PM

Was running it pretty hard on 104 and XR and was taking a hard corner hit the gas to get the wheels loose a little and the car bucked like I hit the rev limiter but i'm pretty sure I didn't. No leaking liquids and everything looks fine. Now it won't start.

If it won't crank over AT ALL you have more serious issues.

M3KILR · 08-27-2005, 07:14 PM

the connections and it started. So I tried to make it home like that not remebering I could just run on speed density without the possibility of stalling. Well I made it half way home and cussed alot after it stalled again before I remembered to just unplug it. Think I could clean the MAF or should I just run w/o it until I get a new sensor?

I don't think your MAF is bad at this point.

smoking if it were a intercooler hose. I'll go check anyways but I have never had a hose problem and they are all very tight last I checked. What would be a definite bad MAF?

I have been wanting to have the motor tuned/tweeked with lemmi to maximize the performance of the current Stage II+ mods, but my knowledge of thiis is far too insufficient.

If I were to take a ride out to you, could you tweek it?

Or if I were to take some logs could you tell me what to improve??

It rusn very strong, but I'd like to have a set of knowledgable hands have at it...

with it plugged in I was getting fuel too lean codes.. and I'd rather run too rich than too lean.

I don't think your MAF is bad at this point. __________________ 2002 S4 Avant, 6spd.

I'll go check anyways but I have never had a hose problem and they are all very tight last I checked.
