lol, it's breaking. help.


Alright guys, I introduced myself here about a year ago and haven't been back, but now I need some help.

03 V6 60k miles.

-For the past 3 or so weeks it has been just dying at red lights, not every time, not everyday; completely random.

-The other day, it acted as if it was hitting a fuel cut at 3400 rpms... it would skip a few beats, then continue accelerating.

-Yesterday it completely lost power anywhere above 4300 rpms.

You guys seen this before?

I'm cleaning the MAF tomorrow and running some injector cleaner through it. I really don't want to go through changing the fuel filter...

clean IAT as well, sounds like a nasty vacuum leak or just a bad MAF in general

Its probably bad O2s, a bad or dirty maf, a fuel system issue, or a vacuum leak. Check your hoses and connections first.
