Default

Most parts stores can check it for you. If not they usually rent them.

Default mass air flow sensor

try unplugging your mass air flow sensor - the engine will kick into a default mode without the sensor and if it runs better without it then have yours tested.

worked like a charm for me - mine had no power above 45 mph, valves rattleing at 3500 rpms, transmission acted like it was shot - wouldn't downshift right.
