    I had this happen before but cant remember what the problem was...Pretty much when I start the car it wont crank, I give it gas and it starts up...then i let off the gas and it bogs right down. The TCS light comes on and on my cluster the low battery light is on...I litterally just had the battery charged a week ago...could it be bad battery/alternator? If my memory serves correct the alternator was the culprit last time

    so Day 2 of this...went to advance, got a new alternator and charged the battery...put back together, and now doing the same thing...I changed the Idle Air Controller yesterday and the car was driving great, but when I went to take the car out last night it just wouldnt turn over...Pretty much I turn the ignition and it chugs like normal then dies...chugs like normal then dies...I give it some gas and it starts up but if I take my foot off the gas it dies. If I leave my foot on the gas it starts up and runs...I had this happen before and cant remember what i did...any help would be MUCH appreciated!

    Un-plug the MAF sensor, and see if it runs “better”. If it does run better, it is most likey the MAF went bad. Maybe
