02' GTP problem

[blazeracer]

My car was running like doo doo.. miss firing, stalling at red lights, I bought a scanner because I had no check engine light and 5 codes came up, to include the MAF sensor and the check engine light. (yes, there is a code for that). Replaced the MAF sensor and two other codes went away with it and the car runs like a dream now.. still working on the last code in another post.

Thanks for the tip, I'm gonna see what Carmax has to say.

Since you say the noise you were hearing was mis-diagnosed, I would agree it may be a MAF issue. If you have a CAI or reuseable (K&N, Air Hog, etc...) type air filter installed, the chance it's a MAF are very high. The oil used in those filters can get sucked into the MAF filiment causing your symptoms.

Nope all stock. No aftermarket parts

Since it runs good with the MAF disconnected, I'd say you found your problem. Buy a new one from ZZperformance or an AC-Delco one. Reman ones from Standard and Cardone are basically junk.
