Also, next time, can you not make another thread and just keep your responses in your original thread? This helps things stay cleaner and condensed. Thanks.

well i did but im in a hurry and no one responded...sorry!
oh and yep i unplugged the maf
01-24-2008
Did you try driving the car with the MAF unplugged? Just making sure...to be clear.
01-24-2008
well i would but i cant cause as soon as i hit the gas in gear it dies automatically
01-24-2008
Even with the MAF unplugged, as well as plugged it?
Does the car idle when in gear? And then just dies when you try to move?
01-24-2008
yea i tried to drive it both ways. ya sometimes it idles in gear but if it does as soon as i try to move it shuts off

It sounds like you may have a vacuum leak. Can you hear air leaking anywhere in the engine bay?
01-24-2008
no i tried listening to it but the pcv is so damn loud. but i dont think so
01-24-2008
If the only thing you did was change the IAC, and now it doesn't run right...with the symptoms you described, I am thinking vacuum leak. Try taking the IAC out, making sure the o-ring is still on it, making sure the IAC hole is clean, lubing up the o-ring with some light grease or Vasoline, and reinstalling it.

no no no it was doing this before when it was idleing high. the iac fixed the idle problem just this now. do you know where i could find a vac line diagram?
01-24-2008
No, I don't have a vacuum line diagram.
I guess I am not clear on what your problem is. With 3 thread, its hard to follow.
Your car was idling high, so you changed the IAC. Now it is idling fine, but it stalls when going into gear?
01-24-2008
yes that is exactly correct, but its fine in reverse. only messes up in drive gears
01-24-2008
Did you let the car idle enough to where it is warm?
And can you rev the engine a little bit, maybe 1500 RPMs and pull it into gear and it will be fine and drive? Or hold your foot on the brake and keep it from dying?
01-24-2008
yes the car is warm. no even if i rev it it will just die, no matter what. it seems that it wants to die more when i hit the gas

That sounds like a fueling issue. Check the fuel filter to see if its clogged. Is there any ses lights? When you start the car let it run untill it heats up to operating temp and see if that happens. Keep us posted
02-02-2008
you can get a vacuum diagram from a haynes manual for the car. were you able to drive the car at all before these things happened?
03-11-2008
yes it was running perfect before this. i talked to a master mechanic and he said its probably in the tranny. ??????
