Default Car have died for the 4th time.

Now the car died on me today and will not start again.

Codes:

p0100
p0110
p0172
p0175

All indicates to MAff sensor and temp sensor.

The car have over the past 2 months worked good in about one week on and of with a suddenly sluggish feel, numb gaspedal and when hittin lower rpm and about to come to a stop the car shuts down throwing these codes. Before i have waited for 30-40 min and then it fires up again and codes are gone like nothing happend. This have happened 4 times and today it seems like it was the last one! Car will not fire, and sometimes fires up with the help of a flooded gaspedal forcing it to go and blows dark smoke. When releasing pedal it idles rouhg beneth 300rpm and then dies.

SO...

Shall i start with maff, cleaning throttelbody, check for flooded plugs,??

Please ppl im near end of manic brakedown. The car is so near its final stage and a big meet coming up in 4 days... Need help from u grownups that know these cars in and out..

You didn't have to make a new thread. But did you put back your stock intake like I told you to? If yes, i suspect you got a bad MAF sensor. Do a resistance check. There was a thread about this on how to check MAF sensor if you search.

I did a new fresh thread instead of having this in my other one and this is in right place! Yes its stock and everything is put back to normal! Worked for a little over one week. But now it seems that its taken its last breath.

And how to messure it i know how! havent had the time but will clean and messure today, slong with recheck wires in ecu, clean throttle body etc! Any other clues..?

so it died again. Last time we found out that the RPM wire from the srt ecu box was not soldiered good! so when we fixed that the car has been going strong for 2 months! And today it just shut down in an intersection when i was about to come to a stop at a redlight! Trying to start it up, it fires but will not idle and pushing more gas trough the system overfloding. Let it be for 5 min and then it starts up normal showing codes, same as before. Took the batery pole of and waited, and now its good again! Going crazy and im so tired of this ****. About to sell the damn car..

if it would have been the maf, shouldnt it have been going poor more often and not running as great as it have been doing?

Try disconnecting the MAF and start the engine see if it runs better. If it does, chances are the MAF is out of calibration. Or bring the car back to stock

The MAF may need to be replaced, cleaning it is a solution but it may only be a band aid.

the car is stock and has been for 2 months going just fine! until some days ago it suddenly stoped without warning! tried to start it and it goes blubby with stinking fumes, and when i release throttle it dies!. let it be for some minutes its starts normal. But never now when it dies again! Hate this.
