    yea...i had it checked out and the readout was calling for a MAF sensor problem but it doesnt seem like this problem and that would be directly connected...atleast it seems that way to me

    If you have an error code for the MAF sensor, try replacing the MAF sensor.

    Yeah, they are very much related.

    Sometimes you can get away with cleaning it...saves you roughly...ohhhh...maybe $150+ bucks

    Also, unplug your MAF sensor and see if it continues...if it does then it is NOT the MAF.

    Well..just as an update I went to my mechanic to get it diagnosed more thoroughly and it coded out to be a MAF and multiple cylinder misfires. I dont have the time right now to work on it and I need it fixed pronto. Atleast in Connecticut, if you have a check engine light on and you go for emissions testing you automatically fail. But thank you all for the input.
