Hi everybody, I'm a new number at this forum, and need help on my 1g vr4 that I've owned for 18 yrs. The problem that I encountered was that during one chill morning I was on my way to work and drove on the local streets at 40 mph before I reached the freeway on-ramp... everything was fine up until I tried to speed up, but my car wouldn't let me and instead it felt like it was going to stall, so I drove back home with the same speeds and changed cars for work.
I tried to start my car when I got back from work, and the motor started with no problem but it would stall when the key returned to the on position. I ended up having to tow the car to a garage in hopes that they could fix the problem. A couple days later, the technician called me and said the Mass airflow sensor was bad because the car can start and idle (1500~2000 rpm) with the connector unplug but would stall right away when it's reconnected with the plug. So I purchased a used one but the same thing happened, and the technician said maybe the ecu was bad, so I bought one from a '91 Eclipse but still got the same result. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas please let me know!!! Thank you!
