Re: 94 cutlass idles rough acts as if its out of gas

Put a fuel pump in it. Even a used one that you can watch a guy bench test. I know this symptom all to well... it is the fuel pump. Don't worry about what the computer tells you. Once you replace the pump you'll be golden... dont forget to change your fuel filter at the same time. Not that you need it, but hey, if your going to be under there..

If you want to test the MAF, probe the reference voltage, should be 5 volts. connect it to the MAF, and probe the backside of the connector, at the same pin you should read 2.5V.
If you get the car running, lightly tap the MAF with your finger, or a screw driver handle, if the idle fluctuates, replace MAF.
