Ok, here it is, When I stop at a light or anywhere for that matter, once in awhile the car flutters then dies.......me being an auto tech I look for codes to no avail , I have checked for a vacuum issue and found none, is this an issue that the 99-04 has? The car has an SCT tuner and when checking it out I turned on the EGR and O2 sensors, plus kicked the idle up from 520 to 710, but, it shows no codes and then, the problem showed up again. A little background for ya, Im a Carb guy, this is the newest pony ive owned, I am in that gray area of transition between 1970 and 1999 so any help would be epic. Let me know what ya think, and help me with a remedy, Thanks.

First guess would be IAC going bad

[number1gt]

Or even your maf

[glittle75]

there really needs to be a stick on this forum that says "99-04 idle issues? CHECK YOUR IAC FIRST" haha

[CrazyHorse1981]

Thanks for the input to those of you who arent assholes. To those that the asshole attitude applies to, I hope being douches helps you to be better people.lol I thought about it being an IAC issue already, but was hoping that some input would lead me to an easier fix. I thought it might throw a code if it were a sensor issue. Didnt want to throw parts at the problem, like I said the 99-04 is new to me, If it were a 67-68 or a 69-70 or a 71-73 or a 347 ....the list goes on......that ive owned then I would have no trouble with it, but its not, so I was just asking people that might know. Anyway, thanks to those who arent pricks.

There is a special cleaner for your MAF. Don't just use any cleaner, you'll ruin it. Get the right stuff from a parts store.

I have been leaning towards the IAC, but was wondering if it would produce a code. Since they arent an arm and a leg to buy , that will probably be what I change. I appreciate your help. Nice topless pony by the way.

[0949er]

so who exactly are you calling a prick here?

What more of an easier fix do you want then its the IAC? Its two bolts and a hose...

but I am going to hope you are not talking to me, because if so lighten up buddy, you are taking the wrong stuff to heart. Nobody on here has disrespected you or acted inappropriate.

[NickPohlAandP]

LOL, he wasn't calling anyone a prick, he said there should be a STICKY on rough idle problems

[0949er]

the IAC is the #1 cause of idle issues hands down. Now I could be a dick and say "if you searched the forums that would be the first thing you would find out about idle issues" but I didn't. I said it should be a sticky. That has nothign to do with you.... so get over yourself

[NickPohlAandP]

I hear ya. Some people are too sensitive on this forum. Especially some dink named zigbigadoru. That little bitch cries more than my 5 year old.

Didnt point a finger at you, so if you feel guilty then get over yourself. There is no need for any words otherwise. I asked because I wanted advice, its new ground for me. I work in a shop, they like to buy new parts and put them to use. I was trying to save some dough in this obamaconomy we live in. I dont have a 5000 buck scan tool at home and went on what the SCT said about codes. But I guess the IAC is like running an EKG on a heart, it wont show unless its happening when ya run it, or unless its dead as fried chicken. I ment no bad blood, if I came off that way it was probably the Icehouse anf Moonshine mixture I put in my veins tonight. Anyway, im heading more towards the IAC the more I think on it.

Word, I feel ya. Like I said to folks, Im coming from the world of 750 double pumpers and toploader 4 speeds. Last car was an 87 notch with a 347 carb motor. before that was the 69 Grande and 70 Mach, this 4.6 is new stuff to me. Oh and I was wondering, this car of mine has a cold air intake on it, what issues can that cause with the MAF?

Most likely no, as long as it was installed correctly
