When changing my oil in my 92 Q45, i disconnected the air intake censor to get to the oilfilter... when i hooked it back up and tried to start it again it sputtered and stalled out....it will start up fine with it unhooked..Any suggestions

o2 is not the air flow sensor.

Most likely cause of MAF sensor problems is changing the oil filter from the top. Disconnecting and reconnecting the sensor causes the wiring to break. You can do it from the bottom and save a lot of headaches.

So re-check your connections on the MAF. It's pretty delicate. You'll need an ohm meter.
