Thanks, I took it for a spin on the highway as that is where the "bucking" is most noticable. I unpluged the maf and no "bucking" so I left it unplugged.It does seem to now "bog down" at 80 kmh but maybe thats normal. I had to plug it back in as it idled like crap when cold. With the maf plugged in I am getting codes 157 and 158. My Haynes book tells me MAF ( open and shorted). Now heres my delema. A new one from the dearler costs about 500.00. A local junk yard will sell me one for 50.00. Is there anyway of checking the used maf with an ohm meter to ensure it is functionable. Considering I've allready spent about 300.00 I would really like to know. this car seems to be full of gremlins since we've had it, fix one thing and its great for a couple of weeks then we are back to where we started. Its a great car if I could only get it working properly for a while and this is the first time I got a maf code. Thanks for your help.
