It would be better if you simply corrected the bad advice instead of merely criticising. Or at least, state the correction along with the rhetoric ! Jesus also talked about doing unto others as you would have them do unto you.

It's too late for that, his issue would be diagnosed in 10 minutes by a good mechanic. People suggesting oxygen sensors for no start? What the hell?

" Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. "

Sorry my friend, it was just too tempting not to say that.

Cleaned the MAF with CRC
Cleaned the Idle Control w/carb cleaner
Changed the fuel filters
Checked for leaks. Found a leak at the throttle body intake. Temporary fix using gasket sealer around around the mating surface.

Now car starts and idles better, but seems to be in "limp mode" ???
Car accelerates OK, but when I mash the gas, it doesn't throw me back like it used to. I can see the RPM's go up, but no power.

Codes: 1213 and 1221
Also the little triangle type warning light is on.

I get voltage at the MAF terminal from the harness that is correct, but I do not know how to check at the MAF..

Also, why are my resistance numbers at the Idle Air Control Valve higher than what the Bentley Manuals says they should be?
