Just sprayed an engine cleaner on her to clean up the engine bay. Also did oil and at flush. Car drove fine for over 100 miles and then while driving started a funny idle at a light. When I hit gas lightly car would drive up to ten mph, if I tried more it will stall. Having towed now. Help.....?

Any ideas at all?

You probably contaminated the MAF sensor. You cant get anything like that cleaner on the screen. Even a small air leak into it will let that stuff in there, Get the proper cleaner for it and try that first. Dont touch the fins or screen which ever type you have though. You must not damage it.

 

Check to see if you accidentally unplugged any vacuum lines while cleaning. The map sensor is extremely easy to unplug,and on that 2.8 it's right up front under the breather. Also if the check engine light is on you could flash it and get a better idea.
