So I got my MAF problems from the other day fixed... I cleaned the wire with a little rubbing alcohol, reset the ECM, put the settings back in the MaxE chip and everything was running great.
Anyhow, I stop at a parking lot down the street to adjust the cruise fuel setting on the chip and when I go to restart the car started into a choppy idle, then died completely. I undid the change I made to the chip but it didn't help. So here are the facts as I know them:
1) The car was low on fuel. At first I thought I had just run it out of gas. I threw in a couple of gallons, but the problem remains.
2) Once the car is started, I can almost keep it running by tapping on the accelerator. But, every time I hit the accelerator, it sounds like the fuel pump has been switched off, or like the motor is sucking air through a straw... I let off the gas and the car gains about a hundred rpm, hit the gas and the car sounds like it's going to die, let off, gain a hundred rpm, etc.
3) Ocassionally when hitting the gas I can hear a popping from the vapor canister.
4) I can't find any vacuum lines or anything disconnected.
I'm kinda lost at this point... Is it possible I ran the car out of gas and fried the fuel pump? I can still hear it whining back there when I have the car on and the door open. This is driving me nuts cause the car was running so well today.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
