Nice! Thanks! I'll give that a shot tommorow and see how it goes. I just have a hard time thinking that would cause all the fuss it's been giving, but no doubt worth a shot because I know I've never cleaned it really good before.

Thanks again guys! I'll let you know tomorow how it goes.

I didn't get a chance to clean out the MAF today. My professor finally e-mailed me with my homework so I was focused on that all day. I will let you guys know tommorow for sure.

Default Problem Solved

Alrighty, found the problem. Thanks to you guys!

So I woke up, went outside and started checking the voltage to the PCM and the TPS. All the voltages were as they should be.
Went to clean the MAF sensor, then I had to move the truck so my wife could get out of the driveway. With no MAF plugged in, I pushed the gas enough to get it going expecting it to pop and misfire. Instead the back tires spun. I was like "woh! lets do that again". Backed out and spun in the field a few times. Took it down the street, and it runs like a new truck! Like going from a scooter to a corvette!
I never imagined that the MAF could possibly make that big of a difference! I'm almost speechless of the difference it made

Thanks guys! I finally got my truck back. I couldn't have done it without you.
