[Shotimes] still having an engine problem

[Carl Prochilo]

Okay, that makes more sense.

So a scenario would be my car runs poorly and has a hard time starting.
Bring the car to the dealership and the tech diagnoses that the issue is due
to faulty MAF wiring harness.  The solution would be to replace the harness
with a new one.  In the case of a 91 or 92 it would be the old style; in the
case of a 95 it would be the new style.

BTW, if it really were the MAF connector, couldn't he just unplug it and try
to run the car?  I've been told the car will run like shit, but it will run.

Cheers,
Carl Prochilo
