    Okay i took off the connector harness to the mass air flow sensor and i tested it with my meter. apparently the + and - are (b and c) connected because i'm reading continuity across them. is this so post to happen? is there a wire shorted out in my car somewhere? the ignition key is off

    i have some new questions...anyone ever have problems with their window wipers? my go off randomly and sometimes doesnt work but it does on high for some reason. anyone ever have this problem and replaced the window wiper circuit board?

    another now i have fog lights that ant that bright because of build up on them. anyone ever take them off and clean them like headlights (wet sanding and poliosh)? i need to do this.

    next my head lights are great on low beams but on high the light seems to spread out. so in other words i only have low beams anyone ever have this problem... its almost like they are pointed to high or something and there is like less light on the road than low beams.

    okay i cleaned the maf sensor out and checked all the hoses and the car seems to be running fine right now but sometimes on random days it runs bad i dont know why its so inconsistant?

    And last i think for now how can a bad fuel filter affect a car?

    of course they are going to be connected, if you have the battery plugged in. Continuity is not the test you should be doing lol. Also, the second o2 is behind the cat, it checks to see the health of the cat.

    I know this sounds funny but I did a complete top engine rebuild (thanks to Dubob's vid) because of the LIM . changed plugs wires everthing you could think of. to make a three month story short it was a new plug, hey, you never know and it's a cheap fix.
    good luck
