wires are in order and all timing belt marks line up those are the first 2 things i did. it will only stay running with the peddle to the floor and it revs to 2000 rpms max. i let it run that way for 15-20 mins but recieved no check engine light. i disconnect the maf and (with battery disconnected) then started it the same outcome but the light came on then. i think its the maf but everyone swears up and down they dont ever really go bad on these cars. i dont want to buy a $400 part that wont fix it and havent located any locally. I called mike at 4g and hes going to check for me later and he said its rare for one to go out.

anyone with help can call 770-255-9460as i am in the shop more than on the computer.
