    Help!!! Running like a dog

    hey guys

    seems to have flat spots and hesitations and sudden bursts of power,

    its the 8v so far have done:

    spark plugs (silber bosch)
    leads
    dist. cap
    rotor
    oil pressure pipe thing
    timing belt and all that

    what to do now,

    Chris

    I had that to my car, then cleaned the mass air flo sensor (MAF) by taking it apart and cleaning it gently with a small paint brush with metho and now smooth. Also good idea to clean the throttle body also. I thought the car was out of tune or something, but once cleaned it was great.
