I think Stazi and I may have fixed the lean CEL code in bank 1 and 2, but after that I ran into another problem. The CEL came on right away after I left his house. The car is fine under normal driving conditions, but when I was in 5th gear on the expressway, I went to accelerate while leaving it in 5th gear and the car stuttered (spelling on that?) extremely bad. I let off right away. It seemed to do it only while pushing the pedal further while at lower RPM's. I was too scared to try and see if it was okay over like 5k, but in 2nd and 3rd, once you're past about 3.5 or 4k it accelerates fine. I just got done changing the wires. It was my first time so I hope I didn't plug anything in to the wrong place. The car started okay so thats a good sign. Does anyone have any ideas what this could be? We put a fuel injector cleaner into the gas tank, so it could potentially just be that going through...we'll see. I'm going to go for a test drive now.

sounded kinda similar to what my SHO did for along time. Then I unplugged the MAF and its a Rocket again!
