MAF is probably in the fenderwell. Check that connection also.

Subject: [Shotimes] 1993 MTX stalling problem


List,
I'm posting for a friend that isn't on the mailing lists (yet, I have a
feeling that he will be when this is all said and done).  He has a 1993 MTX
that is having some issues this afternoon.
Driving down the road and coming to a stop, the car began to stall out on
him.  he got it off the road and called me.  I had him check fuel and such.
Had pressure at the schraeder valve.  Disconected the battery to reset the
computer and started the car.  It would idle fine, but as soon as he gave it
any gas, the car will stall out.  I had him reset the computer again and let
the car relaearn idle.  Again, idled fine, but with gas it wanted to stall.
Was also hard to get to start on some startups.
My next thought was to have him check the connections on the MAF and DIS.
DIS was ok, but from what he saw, there is no MAF on the car!  Sounds
strange to me, but I'm going down there to look at it in a few minutes.  Car
has run fine for the past month since he bought it, so I can't belive that
there is no MAF, but we'll see.
As far as a car that will idle properly but die at anything besides idle,
does this ring a bell with anyone?
Your help is appreciated.
