ok, i know tomorrow ill have the exact issue to go off of better, but i appreciate all your help..... i will keep you posted, and hopefully this can help others in the future! my car is a 2000, and only has 41,??? on the clock........ but my fuel pump isnt really making a whle lot of noise, and the circut breaker is fine, along with all the fuses! not to mention that the car does start and idle fine today.....as far as it being the clutch, not an option i dont think. seeing that it doesnt do it in reverse..... but the having to shut the ignition all the way off to be able to restart it shows signs of electrical. as far as the car not idling that great yesterday, i have taken my pro flo off to do tests on the computer, thinking it may have been that..........so i believe my computer was just trying to relearn idle for factory mass air! thanks again, and ill be posting!
