intermittent 2.8 mpfi problem "reply"

Thanks for all your inputs to my problem. :smile:
I thought I have checked for vacuum leaks and maf sensor problems but I will double check. If it was the maf sens. should I not get a code? Also, I don't have a code scanner and I'm using the a.l.d.l. and counting the flashes of the check engine light. Is this not reliable?
Again Thanks, and keep your imputs comming, it can only help. I am determiined to figure this beast out (plus I have to depend on the car).
