this is my last 2 days:
driving down the highway, i give my car gas, it falls on its face and dies, i unplug the maf sensor, car runs fine, i take it to autozone, buy some MAF cleaner, taker it out spray it off, reinstall and autozone erases the cels, go to leave, my car wont start, finally got it to start, it runs like hell, and when i let of the clutch in any gear even neutral it starts to die, so now its stuck at autozone, and i need help, any ideas??? btw CEL's p0102, p0113.

My buddy had the same codes on his '02 and we replaced the MAF and air temp sensor and it still wouldn't run right. Eventually we found a loose ground, tightened it up and the car ran fine.

We put the old sensors back in and the car still ran fine so we returned the new ones.

Always go for the easiest, cheapest, fix first.

Make sure you reinstalled it correctly and didn't damage it in the process - seems like P0102 and P0113 together are indicative of the MAF being unplugged or not sending a signal correctly.

Also check the fuse for the MAF.

And like John says, look for loose grounds, wires that have rubbed through, stuff like that.

i didnt think about checking grounds, ill give that a try, also it was odd that the car ran good with the maf unplugged, and now if i unplug it it doesnt matter
