would the maf cause The car to idle good but when you give it gas it boggs down or is misfiring.When you accelerate you have no power but it will eventually get up to speed and it is sucking gas bad it smells like its running to rich. The catalytic converters (which are not clogged) are fire red after i drive it. What could it be my plugs and wires are good. Thank you for any input you could give me.
