been having the p0171 code for a few months now, and went to start the car this morning and it will barely run. It will get up to 20mph maximum, and the engine is fighting me the whole time. got some small backfiring too...

Checked with an ODBii and came back with a p0100 code. It just seems wierd to me that randomly it just fails... shouldnt i have seen driving symptoms before this?

p0100 is MAF code..... a bad MAF will cause sluggish drving like you mentioned. Do you use an aftermarket air filter?? Try cleaning the MAF with electrical contact cleaner...

How do i remove the MAF? I took the two screws out and its still stubborn. Im limited on tools at the moment so i cant fully remove the air box
