i dont know how much it matters but it was leeking oil i know where i just have to fix it so its just a matter of time but i just thought i better throw it all out there incase anything is related....

Check your MAF connection

Does it sound like a rev limiter when you hit 2500 and when you push the gas more in, it dies out?

It is in Limp mode, or Retarded mode, wiggle / clean the mass air flow sensor (on top of the air filter box) and put back on :-)

how do i clean it?

[Acecool]

You can clean the connection with electonics cleaner and Emory cloth (I think that is how you spell it, VERY FINE SAND PAPER), the actual MAF, I am not sure, I heard some people sprayed something on their in large amounts and let it dry out, but dont quote me on that one...

go to a local aut parts store and get yurself some carburator and choke cleaner and spay dat somebitch out..spay it liberally and watch all the black stuff come out..also spray out the throttle body and the throttle plate...as for the idling..check yur throttle cable position...anf for the revving deal..make sure your wires (plug wires ) are all good and that they are in the right firing order comming from the distributor..good luck

[SR20drftSX]

are you F*(^&%# kidding me!?!?!? take the Dam Masss airflow sensor housing and everything apart and just start spraying everything out with the cleaner and unplug the sensors to it and clean em out..just clean everything up..and then get some dielectric grease and rub on the connections..a dn plug em back up and then hook up the mass are back onto the intake

yeah don't use carb cleaner. it leaves a residue. use brake cleaner instead. I'm gonna lock this thread. SR20drftSX, you've already answered ficodecko's question like a champ.
