I took it for a drive today, on the off chance the CEL light would come on. It did not, but it was starting to miss, so I figured I'd pull over, and look at some stuff.

I pulled over and popped the hood. I had turned the car off through force of habit and when I tried to start it.. Engine would crank and crank but never fire up.

So, it had done this 1 other time. So I just let it sit for 5 minutes. After that it would start. So I figured, ok, lets take it for a ride with the MAF unplugged.

I unplugged the MAF sensor and started it up. It would seem to start, then the TAC would drop to 0 and the engine would stop.

Plug the MAF back in, and it started. (did this twice to confirm it wasn't a fluke)

Drove it home.....
