Ok guys i need some help! The car isnt runnin too good. Its 96 trans am auto. Anyways its been running fine, i just changed the plugs and wires and it was running good. a while back it started running crappy and threw a MAF code and so i replaced a few vacum hoses that had leeks and problem solved. Last friday night right after getting some gas i messed around with this car and the SES light came on...same code P0100 (MAF). So the cars is slugish at take off and the rpms will drop way down while sitting at a light and the car starts to shake and sounds like its knocking. Then the rpms will jump back up and it will be fine for a while. I just need some help to figure out what it is. The MAF cant be bad, its fairly new. ANyways all who can help please do because i cant stand driving my car like this. Thanks

Check the pink wire to the MAF for 12v with the key ON. Jiggle the wiring harness to see if it might be an intermittent loss of power. It's not uncommon.

 

will check..thanks man. I swaped the stock maf back in the car and car still ran like crap but i will check the connection!
