    the car would stall at idle, it would some times surge, i got an error code that sayed change mass air flow sensor, so i disconected the sensor and it ran enough to get by i put the sensor in and it ran better for a few days, then it died one evening and the only way to get home was to disconect the sensor. i still get a code to change the tps but that does not make sense. please help

    Could possibly be a dirty or sticking IAC. Try taking it out and cleaning it good along with the port it goes into. IACs control the air bypassing the tb at idle or at a stop, if it isn't opening all the way or not at all it will cause your car to run rough or die at stops. Just something to check...

    Wait...you said the code was for a faulty TPS but you changed the MAF? That is what I got out of the first post. If so...CHANGE THE TPS
