Replaced wires/plugs/cap/rotor. Still have the same hesitation at random RPM in all gears. Im really leaning towards buying that OEM MAF.
I think Im going to try and reset the ECU now and see if that helps. I've read you turn the 'screw head' near the back of the ECU clockwise wait 2 seconds then turn counterclockwise and that will reset it. I also checked for vac leaks and cracks in the intake with no luck, smoke test showed nothing either. Would a the MAF being changed need an ECU reset/would the ECU need to 'learn' this MAF? I know for the IACV that is the case but is it the same for MAFs?
Im not new to trouble shooting cars, this one is just stumping me. Im working on boosting my other car and bought this as winter beater/dd as I boost the my other car but this issue is throwing me for loops. A quality mass air flow SHOULD work so Im lost as to why it wouldnt read properly if that is even the issue. Maybe theres something else Im missing on the engines/cars...
I'll likely go reset the ECU now and see whats up. Any advice is welcome.
EDIT: I 'reset' the ECU by leaving the neg battery cable unhooked for a couple hours with no changes to the driveability of the car. I know this isnt the proper way to reset it but since the '00+ ECUs dont have the screw to turn, its best I could do.
